Clean Up Australia's campaign, Clean Up Our Climate, aims to help give people practical and effective solutions to climate change.
We all need to think about the impact our daily lives have on the planet in all areas of waste, water and energy.
Often we don't consider the total life cycle impact of some of the items we use each day. Something as simple as a morning cup of coffee in polystyrene or paper (with a plastic lid) can amount to unnecessary use of materials, energy and waste. By simply taking a reusable mug to your coffee shop, you can avoid the use of disposable items.
The items selected for this store are chosen for their quality and longevity - and whilst these items themselves have a footprint, the environmental benefits of using them over a long period of time returns a greater value.
The education which comes along with using these items to spread positive practical messages around climate change means that your small actions can have an even greater effect.
We have selected just a few key items and we are interested in hearing your thoughts and feedback as we will rotate the types of items on offer.
Clean Up believes the solution to climate change is in every person taking action, from individuals, communities, organisations, businesses or governments. There is something everyone can do.
The Clean Up Our Climate Store has been introduced to give people choices and encourage people to not only preserve our environment, but also get out there and enjoy it!
