’Tis the season to be jolly
Your top 10 Green Gift ideas for the Festive Season
Yay! Only 10 more sleeps till Christmas! That’s 10 more days to run around like crazy searching high and low for prezzies woo-hoo! That’s hours upon hours of time to spend a small fortune we don’t have, on things our loved ones don’t want or need – and will probably end up in landfill. Woo-ooh.. no.

Green gifts
There’s nothing worse than giving your friends and family things they don’t need or want or will be broken come Boxing Day. Luckily for you (and our environment) there's plenty of great gifts out there that have a light impact on the planet. Here's some of them...
Give an experience
These are great for that person who has everything. (There’s always one!):
Green Future Fund
The Green Future Fund will provide planned income to Environment Victoria to support our work to create a green future, and secure our independence.
Our environmental challenges won’t be solved overnight. So we need to make sure we’re here for many years to come.
Our Green Future Fund accepts tax-deductible donations and bequests and invests them for the future.
Environment Victoria's campaign highlights for the year
yep, there's a few...
It's never easy securing environmental victories, but we reckon we’ve had a pretty good year on the campaign trail. While we’re still not taking the critical big steps forward to reduce emissions, save our rivers and protect our biodiversity, we did manage to secure a few important victories this year.

Green up this festive season
and feel warm and fuzzy
We kicked off this festive season with a call to step out for the Walk Against Warming. And you brilliant people responded in droves - making it one of the biggest protests ever anywhere. So here’s a big thanks to you Victoria! Three cheers: hip-pip horray, hip-pip horray, hip-pip horray!
Oh why not, let’s throw in a big squeeze hug too, you deserve it.
