Fresh green links

Just a few links today – I’m hoping to get the new blog style up and running tomorrow, have been working on it all week!

One Million Women Campaign – it’s a two year national campaign hoping to get 1 million Australian women to commit to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by 1 tonne each. Women make over 70% of purchasing decisions in the average household, so we’ve got a lot of power to make changes in our environment. I’ve signed up – if you’re a woman, or you know a woman, you should check it out You get an activities list to choose from, and can update your progress on the site. There’s also inspirational stories and video for you to see.

CRT Recycling – a new CRT recycling centre has opened in South Australia. Previously it was difficult to get your TV or old computer monitor fully recycled, because the CRT glass in it needs special handling, but this place will be accepting them from approved recycling groups.

It’s not just greenies anymore – doctors, lawyers, bankers and other business people are sounding the alarm about climate change. If only we could get politicians on that list too!

90% decline in orangutans in Borneo over the last 5 years – because they’re still allowing logging by paper companies in orangutan sanctuaries. I’ve had enough of paper companies. Between Gunns here and others overseas, they’re tearing down the earth’s lungs and destroying habitats. I’m going to look into what I can do about it.
