Green Earth Festival
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.

Save the rainforest?Cooltribe, the recently launched green social networking site, has already started to make a difference. www.cooltribe.com has decided to select the pressing issue of global deforestation as the first cause it will address. For every member who joins the green community, Cooltribe will plant one tree in the rainforest in order to counter illegal logging and deforestation.
"At the current rate of deforestation, 75% of the Amazon will be depleted by 2030. That's not a myth, it's a fact and the consequences will be catastrophic. The more trees we plant, the more difference we make. It's that simple."
