Simple yet powerful objectives … It is what has drawn together a mix of small & medium business operators plus environmental experts to the challenge of reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from small-medium enterprises across Australia and around the globe.

We aspire to provide innovative, meaningful and fulfilling programmes for business. We challenge each and every business operator to become active indeed leaders in the battle to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are warming our planet at an ever increasing and alarming rate.

There are NO silver bullets, however behavioural change across many aspects of business operations CAN make a difference. We can augment initiatives being undertaken by big business, households and enlightened individuals to MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE for SMEs!

A picture perfect early December evening 2006….. riding back from my Friday squad training I marvelled at the beautiful afternoon and enjoying the ride home. Thoughts progressed to how I could get more business people, workers to ride/walk to work on a regular basis and how that small act could begin to reduce our carbon footprint.

Spending so much time outdoors I am right in the middle of climate change issues…. much reading and research followed and I became impassioned to try and make a difference. I knew any approach to SME’s must take into account the dynamics of business, be meaningful to them and allow them to connect their ‘carbon conscious’ status to customers and the market place.

The result…. committed business partners, environmental experts and the 60 Day Carbon Challenge. Good Luck!
