Ms Vuong, 19, is quite sure that climate change is a major issue for the Australian public.

She is also curious to find out how the Government plans to tackle it.

That is why she is a volunteer organiser for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition's climate movement Power Shift from Saturday, July 11, to Monday, July 13.

``It's going to bring 3000 young people from all over Australia for three days of decisive action on climate change,'' she said.

``It's organised by young people for young people and we will be discussing issues surrounding climate change and drafting polices in order to pressure our government into taking the issue of climate change seriously.''

Ms Vuong said she would like to see more time and money invested in reusable energy, such as wind and solar power, as well as in increases in tertiary education in these matters.

She has asked Rudge Hollis, Samrach Nov and Christine Huynh three of her friends to take part in this campaign.

``We all felt guilty about not doing anything, so we decided to get together and see what we can do,'' she said.

``This is the first major event we are going to and we encourage other Fairfield young people to come along.

``After all, it's our generation that will have to face the consequences of today's actions.''

Speakers who are experts on the subject will address Power Shift, where there'll also be job advice and training.
