AUSTRALIA REGULATOR TAKING ACTION

We recently posted about “eco-tourism/sustainable-tourism” and one of the concepts mentioned in the article and our blog post was “green-washing”.

Earlier today this article about a crack down on green-washing appeared.

Even though green-washing is happening we are trying to see the positive in everything to do with protecting our environment.

The fact that green-washing is happening tells us that businesses are recognizing and realizing that society is changing and that more and more people are concerned about the environment.

We are also pleased that the Australian government is cracking down on those “green-washing”.

  REUTERS REPORTS:

Nov 21 (Reuters) – Australia’s corporate regulator will crack down on companies which make unfounded claims of being environmentally friendly, and also hold investment platforms accountable for distributing products that don’t live up to these claims, its deputy chair said on Tuesday. The update from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) formalises a pickup in a campaign against what it called “greenwashing”, or efforts to lure investors into products that do not live up their green promises.

Save Our Woodlands is an environmentally conscious group of volunteers dedicated to preserving threatened birds, animals and ecosystems in the woodlands of New South Wales, Australia.

Only 15% of our woodlands remain, the rest has been cleared for agriculture.

Save Our Woodlands Inc. secures and protects woodlands in NSW and pays landholders, in perpetuity, to conserve, enhance and re-establish native woodlands on THEIR land, and to manage these woodlands, so they are maintained.

BUT we need YOUR help.  Together we can bring about change.  Please consider donating.

People tend to think that woodlands are “just bush,” consequently, over 85% of the native woodlands in New South Wales, Australia have been replaced by agriculture.

Donate $10 per month & help protect critical habitats.   By doing so YOU will prevent further species from extinction.

Our work is only possible with your support.
