EcoDirectory - your guide to green Australia
Set up in 2003, EcoDirectory is Australia's original green directory. We list thousands of Australian sustainable green products and services, non-profit organisations, grassroots campaigns and useful eco resources. The site is also full of green resources and information. EcoDirectory will help you reduce your environmental movement and get involved in the green movement in Australia.
Help us grow
EcoDirectory is run for love, not money. Please help us promote sustainability in Australia by linking to us from your website or blog and recommending us to your friends. Advertising with us also helps us promote a greener Australia - all income goes back into running the site. Thank you.
Pocket guide to going green
We've partnered with Planet Ark to publish The Little Green Guide, written by EcoDirectory co-founder Mark Mann. It's a great little guide showing you how to go green with the least cost and effort. See EcoPress.com.au.

Greenhouse emissions, ecological footprint still rising
A 2008 report by the Global Carbon Project says greenhouse emissions are at record levels and rising. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose 2.2ppm (parts per million) in 2007 to 383ppm. (Experts regard 350ppm as a likely safe level.) || A 2008 Climate Group/Melbourne Age report found Victoria's greenhouse gas emissions rose 30 per cent since 1990, with NSW's up 7 per cent. || WWF's Living Planet Report 2008 found Australia's ecological footprint rose from 6.76 hectares per person in 2006 to 7.81 hectares in 2008.

Plastic bags make a comeback
A report in the Sydney Morning Herald showed plastic bag use in Australia on the rise again to 4.84 billion in 2007 from 3.36 billion in 2006. On the positive side, in November South Australia became the first state to ban single-use plastic bags. See our Bags section for great alternatives to plastic bags.
Looking for non-Australian information?
If you want to find international green resources, we suggest Green Pages (global), Green Directory (UK) or EcoBusiness Links (US). Or see our Overseas Sites category on the left for more non-Australian sites. md5 cracker
