I'm involved

Listen to the women making change

Our Campaign - A registered charity founded in Australia in 2009, we inspire women to get on with climate action, cut pollution from our daily lives, live more sustainably and be a powerful voice for change.

Our Target - Recruit 1 Million Women to collectively cut 1 million tonnes of C02 the main greenhouse gas pollutant causing temperature to rise globally, threatening people and the environment with dangerous instability in the climate.

Your Goal - We ask you to make a personal goal to cut a min 1 tonne of CO2 pollution out of your daily life within a year of joining. It's easy and we show you how.

HOW TO CUT A TONNE
Our activity centre has over 50 ways for cutting pollution in your life - home, food, shopping and getting around. Choose activities that work for you. To stay on course to reach your 1 tonne savings you can track your progress anytime and post items in our discussion forums.
