The Climate Change @ Work Conference Brisbane gives you the opportunity to meet with inspiring environmental business leaders and to hear the latest workplace sustainability research. New to this year's program will be 'Workplace Sustainability initiatives in the Tourism Industry'. The day will also include a valuable insight into sustainable leadership in the workplace with presentations by Accenture Australia and Hewlett Packard. The interactive seminar style format of last year's conference will be repeated to encourage debate and participation amongst attendees. To register for the conference go to www.wrc.org.au

The Green Earth Festival will be taking place on Saturday 13 March at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens. It is a free, family orientated, community event.

If ever there was a buzz about a Brisbane environment event, it has to be the one surrounding the upcoming Green Earth Festival taking place on Saturday 13 March at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens.

This wide-ranging festival is focused firmly on the family and includes everything you need for a day out such as stalls, food, speakers, live music and entertainment, kids’ zone, video zone, as well as short film, art and fashion competitions.

The Green Earth Festival is being organised by the fledging, not-for-profit environmental awareness group, Green Earth Group Inc. which began early last year when like-minded friends of singer/poet and author Leigh-Chantelle’s saw the need for a uniting of the environmental and animal rights groups.

On the 20th of January, a Federal Community Cabinet meeting will be held in Adelaide. So I’m organising a Murray protest to be held outside, to let all the Federal ministers know what we think of their inaction on this national emergency.

An immediate Federal intervention can help save the Murray and get the floodwaters down to the Riverland and Lower Lakes.  Even if there is agreement to send some water down the Murray this will only be piecemeal - we need a permanent whole river solution instead of constant crisis management!

Let’s take our demands for immediate action right to the Prime Minister. All South Australians who care: turn up to the Community Cabinet meeting and send Rudd a rocket on the Murray.

When: 20th January 2009 at 4:30pm (assemble at 4pm)

Created by Cilla Maden of collaborate, Eat Green Design is a sustainable temporary exhibition, restaurant and theatrette, hosting diners, guest speakers, and the latest 'green' products from 1 to 12 August. This networking and hospitality hub will emphasize building awareness on all levels about sustainable consumption. Eat Green Design acts as a springboard for sustainable awareness to stretch the perception of what ‘sustainability’ means, challenging people to look at the different layers of sustainability and nurturing education and involvement beyond awareness.
