You don't need to be a greenie to be green. It just makes good sense to take care of our life support system - our environment. It's not about sacrifice - it's about living smarter. Who wants to breathe foul air, swim in polluted water, and live on a poisoned planet? This is your chance to make a world of difference.
Cool Australia - your essential website for all things environmental, is embarking on an exciting awareness, behaviour change and fundraising week of action from 11th - 17th October 2009.
Enviroweek - it's easy being green.
To raise funds for various environmental charities and organisations, Cool Australia is urging all Australians to get sponsored and take on an environmental challenge or dare for one week. Challenges will include everything from starting a compost bin, ditching the car and walking, showering with your pets and loved ones, going vegetarian and anything in between.
Cool Australia is looking for passionate Australians, with a love of our unique environment, to spread the word and register to take on a challenge for our environment. Create a challenge that suits you.
As a not-for-profit organisation, partnerships with highly motivated allies like you are essential for building the awareness and credibility of the campaign. Your support will greatly impact on the success of Enviroweek. So sit down, relax and have a think about the most fun way you can make a difference. Now get cracking!
Here's how you can get involved:
- Personally take on a challenge for the week and round up as many sponsors as possible.
- Spread the word to all your mates, family, your social and business networks to round up heaps of people to take the Enviroweek challenge.
- Enviroweek TVC

and invite your friends and family to support you online. All proceeds raised will go to the environmental not-for-profit of your choice.
We would love it if you made Cool Australia your environmental not-for-profit of choice.
Cool Australia is determined to make this change a reality to be embraced, not feared. We are interested in what we can do, not what we can't do.
