Supporting Our Work
Why you should get involved
Our Environment, our Responsibility
 Environmental sustainability is THE critical issue of our time. It has been too easy to focus on the very real threats to the natural environment; however 80% of Australians live in urban areas, one of the highest rates of urbanisation in the world. The impact of our urban lifestyle is enormous and our challenge is to change the way we think, the way we live and how we do business to be more environmentally sustainable..
Australia is the second driest continent with a very high standard of living which in the current environment equates to high consumption of fossil fuels and energy, enormous rubbish disposal and high rates of consumerism and consumption.
 This lifestyle is not sustainable even in the short term either on a global perspective or in relation to Australia’s resources. We need to develop a lifestyle which uses resources efficiently and sustainably but nevertheless retains the quality of life which we all enjoy.
Australians have made some progress towards embracing sustainability practices. Overall the level of awareness and understanding of what simple yet effective activities that can be put into place is very low.
 The Gould Group is at the forefront of developing and delivering programs in sustainability education and training which will make a difference and impact on the way in which all Australian’s live and work and be aware and proactive about their impact on the natural and built environment.
This issue is of paramount importance for Australians. We cannot wait for the next generation to solve these increasingly urgent problems. The education, training and involvement of all Australians in issues of environmental sustainability are critical.
