Positive environmental actions for everyone.
About us
Planet Ark Environmental Foundation is an Australian not-for-profit organisation with a vision of a world where people live in balance with nature. Established in 1992, we are one of Australia’s leading environmental behaviour change organisations with a focus on working collaboratively and positively. Our campaigns and programs build on our positive and action-based philosophy to work with a broad range of individuals, schools, councils and workplaces. In short, we define ourselves by what we are for rather than what we are against. This approach strikes a strong chord amongst the millions of Australians who take part in our campaigns each year. *We are non confrontational* At Planet Ark, we want to offer you positive environmental actions. We'll inspire you with ideas, solutions and suggestions for how you can improve your environmental impact... and give you a big pat on the back when you do! *We are non-political* We want to see people, businesses and governments working together to protect our planet's ability to thrive. This means we will work with a range of businesses across a number of sectors and we endeavour to work with whichever government is in office to bring about genuine environmental change. *We are a leading Australian charity* As a small charity, Planet Ark relies on support from the community to maintain our program of essential campaigns and donations continue to form a critical component of our growth. We are lucky to receive generous financial support from a range of businesses and government groups who are committed to a future in which people live in balance with nature.

Water scarcity is a significant and growing issue in Australia. RMCG is a certified B-Corp aiming to address this issue by making the most of recycled water. As industry experts in recycled water management, RMCG works with government agencies, water corporations and industry to implement circular economy solutions that are good for the environment and good for business. In the 2022-23 financial year, RMCG helped clients recycle more than 9,000 mega litres of treated wastewater through recycled water irrigation in agriculture. That is enough to fill 3,600 Olympic-sized swimming pools! Find out in our latest ACE Hub case study at https://lnkd.in/gUYvWFvQ. #circulareconomy #ACEHub #water #recycling
