Australian Greenhouse Office - David Harrison,
Senior Executive Manager for Partnerships & Market Policies
"Among its sustainability messages, Ollie Saves the Planet
shows how we can all reduce greenhouse gases if we reduce, re-use,
recycle and rethink. By reducing energy use in the home, rethinking
use of our cars, and re-using and recycling to reduce waste, we
can all help to "save the planet" from the impacts of
climate change.
Ollie Saves the Planet will be a big help for our 22 Cool Communities
who, with the help of the AGO and environment organisations in each
state and territory, are coming up with innovative ways to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from their households. Cool Communities
is a world-first, national community-based greenhouse reduction
project.
Ollie will also be a valuable tool for local councils participating
in the Cities for Climate Protection program to further encourage
their communities to reduce greenhouse gases by engaging children,
their schools and their families in
a fun learning experience."
