How to Help


how-to-help.jpgOur environmental problems can seem overwhelming.

But there are lots of little and big things you can do every day to make a difference. Like the footy players say, just take it one match at a time.

Here are some ideas from Cool Melbourne on how to green all sorts of things in your life. We've got ideas on how you can:

 

  • Green your home, including tips on growing your own food, saving water and energy, and cutting back on waste;
  • Green your office by following our energy and water saving tips, and by thinking about our green purchasing tips;
  • Green your school with ideas on how to cut out waste at school, how to green your trips to and from school, and how to get connected with other green kids; and
  • Be greener while out shopping by thinking about what you buy, where you buy it, and what you'll do with it;
  • Tips on how you can green your transport with our green driving and holidaying tips.


Let's get hopeful, and active, together. You can start today.
