Fairfax launches The Wellbeing Index

In a time of increasing economic conservatism within our media, it is exciting to see a major media company, Fairfax, launching a new economic indicator that offers an alternative to our obsession with GDP. As the Herald's Ross Gittins and the indices architect Nicholas Gruen both point out, GDP is a great indicator as to employment growth and the amount of cash going into people's pockets. But…See More

This is George

'This is George' is the story of a human called George, a plant called a sunflower, and the connection they both have to climate change.

SWITCH THE LIGHTS OFF! (A practical lesson in normative messaging)

Posted on March 30, 2011 at 3:12pm 0 Comments

No this is not about Earth Hour, but rather a practical experience I recently had with some unconscious normative messaging and behaviour.

 

Recently I had a friend visiting from  Brazil staying in our apartment for 2 weeks. One of the first I noticed is that she never switched the lights off when…

A new kind of optimism?

Posted on September 7, 2010 at 5:40pm 1 Comment

I'm sure most of our visitors here at Change2 came out of the 2007 Federal election with a sense of optimism. Kevin Rudd was going to put a price on carbon, get indigenous reconciliation back on the agenda and take a moral and compassionate stance on asylum seekers. We were also going to see a visionary piece of national infrastructure built; the National Broadband Network.


I'm also sure most of you shared my sense of disappointment at the way the climate debate…

Hope the ACS talk on "Climate Change Update and Its Relevance to the IT Industry" goes well. I gave it a plug on my web site.

Well, thank you.
Since leaving Net Balance I've essentially been traveling.
Currently in Cambodia.
I got a hankering for some sustainability tit bits the other day and remembered you guys.
Hope everyone is well at change2.

G'day Leon, thanks for the welcome - it has been a while. My how we've grown! I've been 'dropping in' to check out the skinny from the sidelines without signing in, much to my detriment as now I can't seem to sign into my old profile - I had to make a new one and now I have 2 in my name!?!

Anyhoo, might have a wander and see what other smilin' faces there are...

Cheers
Dana Banana

Hi Leon... Yeah AP is certainly embracing the concept in a big way - it's a major push for us. We've just released a whole range of Carbon Neutral brands, and launched a marketing campaign to match. I look forward to discussions on the network! R/
