Planet Ark works to show people and businesses the many ways they can reduce their day to day impact on the environment - at home, at work and in the community.
Planet Ark's campaigns have been developed to address serious environmental issues in a practical and straight-forward way. We reach ordinary members of the public through the media, educational resources and through our partnerships with businesses, councils, community groups, schools and environmental groups, encouraging Australians to bring about environmental change in their everyday lives.
Through the success of our campaigns we achieve real and measurable environmental results, including the following;
- 15 million native trees and shrubs planted by 2 million volunteers for National Tree Day.
- 11 million printer cartridges diverted from landfill and recycled through 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark'.
- Over 4 million visits to Planet Ark's RecyclingNearYou.com.au website.
- 2 billion less plastic check-out bags used yearly through the Plastic Bag Reduction Campaign.
Please visit our individual campaign pages to find out how you can get involved and reduce your impact on the environment.
