Make This a Clean Green Festive Season
There are lots of simple things you can do to have a fun and green festive season – and some of them will even save you time, energy or money.
Between Christmas, New Year and Australia Day Australians produce more recycling than any other time of the year. Which is why Planet Ark and Australia Post are encouraging everyone to have a clean and green festive period.
Check out the pages of this site for tips on: recycling or reusing your cards and wrapping paper; recycling at events and parties; reducing the amount of food that’s wasted; saving energy and water when you travel; and information on recycling lots of different materials ranging from batteries to aluminium cans and from glass bottles to computers.
You can download a copy of the Festive Season Green Guide (1.6MB pdf document), which has all of this information and more. You can also listen to the podcast of the Green Guide.
And if you really want to make 2009 a year for the planet commit to a green resolution at PlanetArk.org
