Together, Australians are taking one large step forward towards a greener future.
The good news is that 78% of Australians have done one or more things to help green up Australia at home, including installing energy efficient lighting, water tanks, solar panels and even growing their own vegetables*!
Small efforts do add up and that’s exactly what Enviroweek, a national environmental awareness week is all about.
Enviroweek encourages Australians to set themselves a green challenge for the week of September 12-18, 2010 and fund-raise online for their favourite environmental charity.
Green challenges include anything from buying locally grown produce to help reduce transport co2 emissions, turning appliances off at the switch when they’re not in use or even making a start on your own vegetable garden at home.
Enviroweek ambassador and Olympic gold medallist, Giaan Rooney has already decided on her green challenge, committing to ditching the car for the week and riding her bike wherever she can. “I’m also determined to get my own herb garden up and running… a challenge for a brown thumb like me who travels a lot!” says Rooney.
Enviroweek launches on September 12 with Sustainable House Day, a showcase of the many ‘green’ and great homes around Australia.
