EnergyAustralia is committed to helping Australians reduce their footprint on the environment by using energy wisely. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with City of Sydney in Live Green, an event demonstrating how small, simple steps make a big difference to our future.
Major Sponsor
At Visy our aim is to transform waste from the urban environment into valuable packaging products. This is our passion; we make it, we take it and we recycle it. Visy Recycling processes more than 2 million tonnes of recyclables per year - material that would have otherwise ended up in Australian landfill
Recycling fights climate change. Making packaging from recycled materials reduces carbon emissions, and water and energy usage.
Visy is committed to the recovery of recyclable materials from the Live Green event. Every bottle and can recycled at Live Green represents a considerable reduction of carbon into our atmosphere. We encourage everyone to support us by recycling right onsite!

Over 50 years ago Solahart became the first company in Australia to produce solar hot water systems. Since those humble early days over a million systems have been installed. We continue to be the 1st choice for Australians looking to reduce their carbon footprint by up to 30% by replacing their power hungry electric system with an environmentally friendly solar alternative. Replacing an electric hot water system with solar saves around 4 tonnes of CO2 which is the equivalent of taking a small car off the road. At Solahart we are very pleased to partner with Live Green to help get this message out to as many people as possible.
