🌏 Today, Australia reaches its Earth Overshoot Day. This marks the point in the year where if everyone in the world lived like Australians, we would have used more natural resources than our planet can regenerate in a year. In other words, if everyone lived like us here in Australia, we would be exploiting the Earth’s resources from this point in the year onwards, rather than living in balance with nature. This stark milestone highlights the urgent need for action to shift towards a more sustainable way of living, both here and around the world.

Positive environmental actions for everyone.
About us
Planet Ark Environmental Foundation is an Australian not-for-profit organisation with a vision of a world where people live in balance with nature. Established in 1992, we are one of Australia’s leading environmental behaviour change organisations with a focus on working collaboratively and positively. Our campaigns and programs build on our positive and action-based philosophy to work with a broad range of individuals, schools, councils and workplaces. In short, we define ourselves by what we are for rather than what we are against. This approach strikes a strong chord amongst the millions of Australians who take part in our campaigns each year. *We are non confrontational* At Planet Ark, we want to offer you positive environmental actions. We'll inspire you with ideas, solutions and suggestions for how you can improve your environmental impact... and give you a big pat on the back when you do! *We are non-political* We want to see people, businesses and governments working together to protect our planet's ability to thrive. This means we will work with a range of businesses across a number of sectors and we endeavour to work with whichever government is in office to bring about genuine environmental change. *We are a leading Australian charity* As a small charity, Planet Ark relies on support from the community to maintain our program of essential campaigns and donations continue to form a critical component of our growth. We are lucky to receive generous financial support from a range of businesses and government groups who are committed to a future in which people live in balance with nature.

"Our goal was to show that the problem of recycling turbine blades could be solved. Once we had the technology to recover raw materials, the next step was to find a product that would appeal to the public. As a ski-loving company in Norway, we naturally decided to make skis." #innovation #circulareconomy #circulardesign #renewableenergy

The fund is a first-of-its-kind in Australia focusing on only circular economy opportunities, launched alongside the Australian government's recently released Circular Economy Framework. 45 per cent of the path to net zero relies on adopting a circular economy that maximises resource efficiency and minimises waste.

Transparent solar panels offering a clever solution for renewable energy application ⚡️ Scientists at Incheon National University Korea developed a system that captures invisible light while letting visible light through. This means ordinary windows, skyscrapers and even phone screens could generate electricity without compromising their transparency or aesthetics. #renewableenergy #innovation #sustainability #solarpower
