EcoBuy Training & Workshops: 2010
Posted in Events by ecobuy on February 1st, 2010
Green purchasing is based on the simple premise that every purchase impacts on the environment in some way, and is about choosing to buy products and services that are less damaging to our environment and human health than competing products and services that serve the same purpose.
ECO-Buy is a not for profit Centre of Excellence in Environmental Purchasing, established to encourage the purchasing of environmentally preferable (green) products and services. To achieve this, ECO-Buy offers support to organisations to ‘green’ their purchasing, providing a wide range of services and resources, from policy and strategy development and implementation to practical tools, templates and advice.
Workshops and training session times are available in the first half of 2010. Read the rest of this entry »

Adding a new dimension to Melbourne’s design and dining scenes, EAT GREEN DESIGN presents a temporary ‘pop-up’ restaurant and creative platform centred on sustainability. Adopting a refreshingly different and all-inclusive approach, it is designed as an incubator for sustainable thinking and awareness with a focus on encouraging inquiry, involvement and action.
An innovative menu focusing on locally produced, bio-dynamic and organic foods will be served up over the 5-day programme of lunches, dinners, seminars and events.
Unique design installations, products and creativity will be showcased within this inspiring must-see design collaboration.
Open for 5-days only as part of the State of Design Festival ‘Design for Everyone’ program (17 – 21 July). Registrations essential and limited places so please book early! See website for details.
A guide to a greener Christmas!
Posted in Models by Ferne Edwards on December 13th, 2007
I recently received this email below from Environment Victoria about the ever-important issue of consumption at Christmas time. Please read on to find out more about the resources that they’ve put together.
Environment Victoria would like to call on all Victorians to reconsider the way they consume at this time of year. To assist folks in the community on their journey to sustainability, Environment Victoria has developed an online Sustainable Festive Season Guide. This guide provides information and solutions to the problems of unsustainable consumption and waste that typically occurs over the festive season. To download a copy of the guide go to http://www.envict.org.au/file/EV008_FestiveGuide_Final.pdf.
Another great way you can reduce consumption is by giving a virtual green gift. Environment Victoria has developed a great range of GIFTS THAT GIVES BACK. A gift purchased through the GIFTS THAT GIVE BACK range is a tax-deductible donation. To order gifts for your friends and family today go to http://www.envict.org.au/inform.php?menu=3&submenu=1699&item=1701.
