To become an Enviroweek Green Team you register your class to take on a challenge, get sponsored by your friends and fundraise for your school’s green project. It’s that simple.

Enviroweek began in 2009 with around 200 people taking on an environmental challenge. In 2011 there were over than 58,000 students participating across Australia. Cool Australia has raised more than $260,000 for environmental projects around Australia.

It’s all about taking on a challenge that suits your class, having fun during Enviroweek and getting into good habits for the rest of the year.
