We're Victoria's leading, independent environment group working to safeguard our environment and the future

 

Here's to a Christmas

without dead fish 

A little over a year ago, the beach town of Anglesea had dead fish floating down its river.

On Friday, 18 keen Environment Victoria supporters

visited the Barmah National Park, on the banks of the Murray

It was a chance for the group to experience the issues first hand, and hear a range of perspectives on Barmah, the Murray River and their future.

Our volunteers

think we're great!

We'll that's what they said at our volunteer night last week, although admittedly we did supply them with alcohol and snacks before hand…

We had 20 or so people come along, some of them existing volunteers keen to meet each other and learn more about our campaigns, and some of them newbies keen to start volunteering at Environment Victoria. We've been working hard to work better with volunteers this year, so it was great to see that existing volunteers are finding it rewarding, and new volunteers are wanting to give us a hand.

Check out our

billboard on Australia's life-blood 

I thought it was about time we told you about our billboard on saving the Murray. If you're a politician you probably already know about it, because you pass it on the Tullamarine Freeway every time you head to the airport for a flight to Canberra.

If you're a jetsetter, you'd know about it for the same reason. But for those of us who haven't caught a plane lately and are spending winter shivering in Victoria, you might not know that these last few weeks we've had a beautiful billboard up.

G'day and welcome (err, to myself)

I'm Environment Victoria's new Healthy Rivers Campaigner...

Taking over from Amelia Young, who after a fine effort of sticking up for our rivers is off on other adventures.

How sustainable is your home?

Sure we recycle and save water where we can, but how does your house stack up across the board? Are you a sustainability champ or could you use a little help.
