My personal favourite is the "Things We Can Be Grateful For This Year".

I'm grateful for all those who worked to oppose the gas industry's rent seeking in 2020. https://www.betterwithgas.com.au/things-we-can-be-grateful-for-this-year/

I'm grateful the El Niño/Southern Oscillation moved to La Niña, giving firies on the east coast a reprieve.

I'm worried by those out west, and how much worse they'll all get under future climate change caused in part by the production and burning of gas. https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/perth-bushfires-live-homes-in-perth-s-north-face-imminent-threat-as-fire-front-approaches-20210106-p56s3r.html

Perth bushfires LIVE: Homes in Perth's north face 'imminent' threat as fire front approaches

Firefighters are bracing for another difficult day battling an out-of-control bushfire in Perth's north which is expected to run over a housing estate.

I'm grateful at how far climate solutions have progressed, meaning that it is now not only safer, healthier and less destructive to move away from gas.

It's also cheaper, more reliable and improve your quality of life overall. https://www.csiro.au/en/News/News-releases/2020/Renewables-still-the-cheapest-new-build-power-in-Australia

Renewables still the cheapest new-build power in Australia

A new report from CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has more accurately calculated the integration costs of renewables in electricity generation and found that solar and wind continue to be...

I'm grateful that the scientific community's increasingly vocal entreaties that we should move away from fossil fuels of all kinds are being heard now, at last.

I'm grateful that the tide is turning internationally, and beginning to turn here. https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/australia-records-fourth-hottest-year-as-it-risks-being-isolated-globally-on-climate-change/news-story/8c1ca72809afb26dae204f733152ebc6

Australia is being ‘isolated’ globally

Just a few short years ago, action on climate change was considered political poison in Australia but recent developments show the country’s insular focus may soon leave it isolated globally.

I'm grateful that the gas industry recognises that it's product is so toxic that it can no longer sell it to the community.

I'm grateful it is forced to offer Paleo Carrot Muffins recipes, stock photos of white guys with man buns and tips on how to set a festive table instead.

I'm grateful that the media and general community is grown exponentially wiser to the fact that the gas industry is good for nothing.

Gas is bad for the climate, bad for the economy, bad for the environment, bad for landholders (western and native title) and bad for jobs.

There's more to do in 2021, but I'm grateful to work for an organisation that will continue to step up against fossil fuel industry's BS this year.

And also walkies. Or something.

I get that you're a little "bias" (sic), @ATCOGas but is the reason that you've designed a wellness site rather than addressing the fact that your product destroys the climate by... y'know... *not selling it* part of the whole "letting the benefits speak for themselves" thing?
