Dear Chairperson and Directors,

I am highly concerned about the Mater Hospital South Brisbane’s ongoing coal burning and use. The negative impacts of climate change are being felt across the globe and throughout Queensland. I was shocked to learn the Mater Hospital is still burning coal for energy. The Mater Hospital's reputation is at risk. The burning of coal is recognised for its contribution to climate change and the ill health impacts from exposure to airborne coal contaminates.

I believe the Mater Hospital South Brisbane must stop burning coal.

Chairperson and Director, as a member of the Board of Directors for Mater Misericordiae Ltd - owner of the Mater Hospital South Brisbane - will you move to stop the Mater Hospital South Brisbane from burning coal?

You have clear health and environmental reasons to shut the coal burner down. Doing so will improve the lives of local people and children exposed to your airborne pollution, and help lower the impacts of climate change.

Please close down the Mater Hospital South Brisbane’s coal burning facility.

Thank you.
