Follow on Google News | New venue doesn’t stop the Green Earth Day festivitiesThe aftermath of the Brisbane floods is effecting everyone, even Brisbane’s environmental festival, Green Earth Day who have had to change the venue for their Brisbane event due to lack of Sponsors and large donations this year.
By: Green Earth Group Green Earth Group, the not for profit environmental awareness who organise Green Earth Day each year, is still prepared to ensure that the Brisbane community has something special taking place even with the setback of changing the venue so close to the day of the festival. Green Earth Group will provide a guide towards planting the seeds of change needed to ensure that we are protecting our environment for future generations. Green Earth Group aim to provide education and encouragement to the community, showing others how to make simple changes to support the health and integrity of our environment and the world we leave for generations to come. Green Earth Day (the Pocket-sized version) is a wide ranging family-friendly event that is stripped back from the original festival but still includes everything you need for a great day out such as live acoustic performers, green cuisine, speakers and demonstrations, kids’ zone, video zone, plus market stalls from local companies including not for profit organisations. Green Earth Day is a free, family orientated, community event, which aims to stimulate awareness by bringing environmental, green, health and lifestyle, cruelty-free, recycling and sustainable issues into the public eye. President and Founder of Green Earth Group, Leigh-Chantelle Koch who also organises and promotes Green Earth Day says that she was initially upset that the festival wouldn’t be in the form she had hoped for and worked towards but is still passionate about getting the green message out. “The time has come for everyone to step up and take responsibility for our actions. With the devastation that Queensland, Australia and other countries are experiencing, we are being called to action, to work together to create the changes that our universe is crying out for.” The passion, commitment and dedication one person has, when combined with other likeminded people is, according to Leigh-Chantelle, what makes the magic really happen. “My goal is to encourage people from all backgrounds to be involved in a positive way to help our environment,” Green Earth Group are a not-for-profit group that relies on memberships, donations and fundraising to ensure that their message is promoted to the public. Green Earth Group will also be participating in the St Patrick’s Day parade with a recycled, pedal-powered float, created by one of their volunteers, Justin Ryan. Together with many volunteers from Brisbane and beyond, the Green Earth Day team are united to form a strong grassroots, community event where people from all areas of the community are invited to join in with having fun in the name of green earth education. It’s easy being green and Leigh-Chantelle and her comrades are here to show you how. See www.greenearthday.net for more information and find us on FaceBook, YouTube and Twitter.
