The Green Directory - Australia's Green Business Directory

The 5th of June is World Environment Day. Each year on this designated day, the United Nations Association of Australia seeks to focus world attention on the environment, and in particular, on positive programs that work towards protecting or restoring the world's natural heritage. The UNAA actively promotes World Environment Day through the United Nations Association of Australia World Environment Day Awards.

The national awards program invites nominations from individuals, organisations, community groups, schools, businesses and the media across Australia whose work demonstrates environmental leadership. The Awards play an important role in raising awareness about key environmental issues and challenges, and inspiring and motivating individuals, organisations and businesses to take positive steps towards sustainability and environmental excellence in their homes, schools, communities and workplaces.
