Eco-shout
has been designed as a catalyst to action for Australia's green community,
those campaigning
for environmental and Indigenous justice and a
sustainable future.
Eco-shout
aims to provide individuals with information, points of contact, and
opportunities for involvement in environmental activities and groups.
In
doing this, Eco-shout aims to increase the visibility of environmental
groups by giving them a profile on a website that is viewed by thousands of
environmentally concerned students, activists and individuals, as well as
people just beginning to explore their environmental awareness.
The
effectiveness of Eco-shout as an agent of change will grow with the
involvement of environment groups. Environment groups can benefit
from Eco-shout in the following ways:
