Facebook/insta campaign with an ad featuring each one of these statistics targetted at parents in all demographics could be a next step to really drive the message.
Social media: All I can do is fear mongering over some irrelevant issue.
45% reported limiting the use of air conditioners or fans during heatwaves because of the cost of power bills.
I would really like to see the stats renting vs owning a home, it looks like this lines up with the general population of renters vs owners
There has to be something done to incentivise landlords to install solar and aircons, it's ridiculous imo to have homes without them in 2025 (especially in Queensland)
it looks like this lines up with the general population of renters vs owners
Hmm, not sure that'd be correct. Don't have time to look, but last i saw renting population is around 1/3 of housing population.
I think the research presented in this article targeted parents, a subset of the general population. Given parents these days are older, and more established, i would assume the share of the parent set has 'parents renting < 1/3' (less than 1/3) renters.
I assume this because younger people are massively over-represented in the rental category, and they are less likely to have children.
Given our skin cancer rates, I feel that maybe my xiellenial generation should've spent more time indoors. Slip, slop, slap said existed but wasn't enforced in any real way.
Both my sister and my husband's sister have a couple of redheaded girls. Thankfully both my sister and BIL are also redheads, but those kids are slathered to fuck year round.
Hahaha, i know a few people like this.
Its so funny to me to see them lathering up on a cloudy day. I get it, and know its necessary, but it can still be funny to see the sunscreen come out on days most people wouldn't think about it.
stares at you in redhead
Ha! I should've learned by now theres always a redhead just around the corner, but i haven't!
