green-books.jpgIt's time to get active! Want to know how? We can help.

We here at Cool Melbourne have been putting our research team to work to gather all sorts of information to help you and your family work towards a cleaner and greener future.

We've found out the low-down on the environmental Grants and Rebates that are offered by our governments to help you green your home, school or community.

Thinking of a green career change? Visit our Green Jobs page to find out what sorts of green jobs are out there.

An environmental challenge you want to know more about? Our Links pages are a great place to start. Or you could visit our Groups or Councils pages to find out what is happening in your area and how you can get involved.

Maybe you just need to unwind. While you're resting your legs, exercise your mind and become an armchair expert: read up about our environment or watch a few videos.

Or maybe there's just a big 'green' word that everyone in the office has been using but that you think they've been misusing. Find out who's right with our Glossary.

There's something for everyone.
