Green In Australia

Are you going green in Australia?  If so we would sure like to know what you are doing in hopes of getting others involved.  If you are not fully aware of what green in Australia means read on, we hope to clear that up for you.  Once you are up to speed on the meaning, and the importance, we hope you will get out and get active.

How you shop will change considerably as you go green.  You will be trying harder to find products that were grown organically, or made from organically grown materials.  You will be looking closer at products made from recycled materials.  You will be looking closer at the packaging a product is wrapped in, the less the better, in the green sense.  You will also be looking at how far the product has to travel from production to sales.  The transportation of products has a large environmental impact that we can lesson by buying locally produced items.  With all this in mind you may be finding the Green Directory a useful site.  This is Australia's online resource for genuine green businesses.  Every category of shopping imaginable is here from animal care to transportation, it's all here.

Going a little deeper into green is  Green Cross Australia, the Australian affiliate of Green Cross International founded by President Mikhail Gorbachev.  The pages on this site are all excellent reading with plans you can start implementing immediately.  The Green Lane Diary is an education program designed by environmental educators to help children become aware of the stresses our planet confronts and how sustainable living can make a difference.  This powerful stuff for all parents, teachers and students.   The Build It Back Green program is an equally powerful movement geared to rebuilding, when needed, the green way.  That is just barely touching the content on this site, it's big, and well worth every second you spend on it.

Our last pick of sites to visit in hopes of getting you motivated is  My Green Australia.  This site is very user friendly and light hearted, just down to earth advice for healthier and sustainable living.  Some of the different sections include entertainment, food, garden, health, home, technology and travel.  Each section contains twenty plus articles, all well written and informative.  You will definitely learn how to live healthier and how to go green in Australia.

As you progress on your green journey please stop back and let us know what you are doing, others will read and want to join you.  Green is for everyone.
