MAGAZINES
Earth Garden
Earth Garden
Magazine is Australia’s original journal of
sustainable living and alternatives. Established
in 1972, and published continuously for over 30
years and 120 issues, it is a forum of practical
ideas, shared knowledge, sources and a guide to
alternatives to high-consumption lifestyles.
It’s about putting a roof over your head,
growing your own food organically, aiming for
appropriate, renewable home energy systems and
surviving — and thriving — in the city or the
bush, with the inner changes which follow when
you’re in harmony with Nature.

HOPE
Hope
Queensland
aims to raise awareness of, and encourage active
participation in, waste minimisation and the
conservation of energy and resources. The core idea
of HOPE is that, while we have to think about
the environment as a whole – on a planet-wide scale
– we need to act locally, in our own communities in
a way that’s effective and meaningful. So, our
slogan is: "Think Globally - Act Locally". HOPE is a
non-profit organization, and is not affiliated with
any political party.

Shop Smart Buy Green
This booklet is designed to help consumers
understand the environmental impact of products
we buy by showing us how to consider
environmental impacts throughout a product's
life cycle, that is its manufacture, transport,
use and disposal. Essentially, all environmental
impacts of a given product can be traced back to
the resources that go into the product (energy,
raw materials, water and land) and the waste
generated (emissions to air, water and land) at
each stage in the life cycle.
