New Ben Lee Video with WWF Australia

Alister — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 09:25:03 +0000

Ben Lee’s latest music video has been created with WWF Australia to help raise awareness on the terrible impact us humans are having on the planet. The video was created by WWF’s ad agency Leo Burnett and was released to commemorate International Earth Day. The message is simple, that we need to live a healthier, more sustainable way of life to help preserve the planets future.

The single, Song For the Divine Mother of the Universe, allowed Ben the unique opportunity to help promote an issue close to his heart whilst also supporting WWF. The video itself is an attempt to make those watching consider what their day to day actions are having on our planet, and what the repercussions may be. Ben said -

The message is ultimately one of hope, promoting the fact we actually have a chance to make a difference, but must act today and live for one planet.

WWF figures show the human race is currently using almost 30% more of the worlds natural resources than the world can regenerate. The human race needs to realise the dire consequences our actions are having, and if a video like Ben’s manages to turn even a single head, then the combined work will have been successful.

Help WWF Australia Save The Great Barrier Reef

Alister — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:09:04 +0000

WWF Australia is creating a petition to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to bring to his attention the serious risk that pesticides pose to the Great Barrier Reef. Designed to kill weeds, pesticides are being washed away into rivers and estuaries and slowly finding their way to coral reefs, where they continue to kill marine plants and attack the food source for animals that depend on them.

Due to pesticide pollution, the Coral Reef of Australia is struggling to absorb shocks and recover from stress. Pesticides cannot be seen in the water and are an invisible killer, causing harm not just to the reef itself, but also to the precious marine life that call it home. Thousands of species of fish, turtles and dolphins are at risk from these harmful chemicals that are making there way into the sea, and now is the time for everyone to make a stand against pesticide pollution.

By signing the petition below, you will be asking Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to strengthen the current review of Australia’s pesticides watchdog. If we join together now, we can make a call to action to help remove the stress on the Great Barrier Reef, and make a better future for some of the countries most spectacular nature sites and their inhabitants.

Earth Hour 2010 – 8.30pm 27th March 2010

Alister — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:58:08 +0000

Earth Hour 2010, in conjunction with the WWF charity, will soon be upon us again with nearly 100 iconic landmarks in 1,000 cities and towns around the world will switch off their lights for an hour at 8.30pm on Saturday 27th March 2010. By joining the other hundreds of millions of people across the globe, you will be showing your commitment stopping climate change and helping the environment.

All across Australia, the lights will be lowered on some of the countries most famous landmarks for one hour to show support, including -

Sydney’s Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Luna Park
Melbourne’s Luna Park, Rialto Tower, Arts Centre and Crown Casino
Brisbane’s Story Bridge
Adelaide’s Town Hall and Rundle Mall Lantern
Canberra’s National Library and Australian War Memorial

Alongside the Australian effort, some of the world’s biggest countries will ‘flick the switch’ on their signature landmarks as a show of support to the sustainable development in adopting low-carbon practices. These actions shown are crucial to highlight the need for everyone across the globe to help control climate change.

Earth Hour Co-Founder and Executive Director, Andy Ridley, said -

The C40 suggests that cities are responsible for up to 75% of the world’s carbon emissions, so their role in addressing what is unequivocally the greatest threat to the planet today is absolutely vital. By turning the lights off for Earth Hour, cities are reflecting the aspirations of their citizens as a community that has resolved to take action on global warming.

With the lights going off on the Empire State building, Buckingham Palace, the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids and many other world renowned landmarks across the planet, you too can join in and make your voice heard. Turn your lights off for just one hour at 8.30pm on Saturday 27th March 2010, and you too can take part in the greatest display of civil action the world has ever witnessed.
