Program Details
All our programs and campaigns sit within three pillars;
- Promoting sustainable resource use for a circular economy
- Supporting low carbon lifestyles
- Connecting people with nature
Our campaigns and programs build on our positive and action-based philosophy to work with a broad range of individuals, schools, councils and workplaces. In short, we define ourselves by what we are for rather than what we are against. This approach strikes a strong chord amongst the millions of Australians who take part in our campaigns each year.
Our achievements;
- 24 million trees planted
- 40 million printer cartridges recycled with zero waste to landfill
- 110+ commercial energy systems installed, eliminating 6,700 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually
- 6,000 phone calls to the national recycling hotline per year
- 240,000 students involved in education programs each year from 2,600 schools
- 30,000 workplaces engaged in our programs
