There are many small actions that you can take to make a difference. Using ENJO to clean your home is one way in which you can help to reduce carbon emissions and slow global warming.
When using ENJO Cloths and Gloves to clean your home, you no longer need to buy plastic bottles and spray cans full of chemicals. The chemicals, plastic bottles and aerosol cans are produced by manufacturing which generates a high level of carbon emissions.
If one home can use ENJO instead of 50 bottles of chemicals over two years, multiply this by every household in Australia and imagine the enormous amount of carbon emissions that could be reduced.
For more information simply check out our website www.enjo.com.au or call freecall 1800 222 540.

A not for profit organisation that believes that reusable nappies are the easy, healthy, environmentally friendly the economical choice. We would like other parents to know these benefits:
Reusable nappies are convenient and easy to use; they require no soaking, pins or folding and don‚t generate huge amounts of extra washing.
Reusable nappies can save you significant amounts of money compared to the cost of disposable nappies.
Reusable nappies save waste and have significantly less environmental impact than disposable nappies.
Reusable nappies are a healthier choice for your child as they are mostly made of natural fabrics like organic cotton, bamboo and hemp, unlike disposable nappies that are made of chemicals, paper pulp and plastics.
Modern Cloth Nappies co-ordinates Reusable Nappy Week 19th - 25th March, this is a national event with the aim of raising awareness and interest in reusable nappies. See our website for further details.

The Anti-Nuclear Alliance of WA has campaigned since 1997 against the nuclearisation of Australia in all its aspects: uranium mining, the new Œresearch‚ reactor in Sydney, irradiation of food, the hosting of an international N-waste dump and the use of depleted uranium in weapons.
Through our stalls, website, public meetings, and media liaison, we counter the misleading mantra of the nuclear industry that it is the answer to the greenhouse problem. If nuclear energy is assessed for greenhouse gas emissions over the whole cycle - mining, milling, construction, reprocessing of fuel, decommissioning of reactors, transport and storage of waste (rather than just the production of electricity) ˆ the sums look very different. Not only does N-power leave deadly waste for future generations but the net greenhouse emissions are right up there! Investment in clean renewable technologies reaps far greater harvests than do the billions needed to prop up the nuclear industry.
