You Can Make a Difference
Welcome to Ecomum!
Our aim is to help Brisbane mums and their families find relevant, local information about making environmentally friendly choices, which can positively affect climate change and reduce global warming.
By doing some of the homework for you, we hope it will be easier for more of us to make some of the simple changes that can really make a difference to the sustainability of our planet.

We Can Solve the Climate Crisis
We have all heard of "global warming" and "climate change" for years now. It's not surprising that many of us are slightly numbed by it all. Back in 1999, I was worried about the Millennium Bug - and nothing happened! So, what can we really do about it?
Individually, we need to take actions to reduce our personal contribution to Climate Change, and jointly we need to turn the tide on public opinion. Governments and large industries around the world need to realise that we will no longer tolerate their "denial" or "head in the sand" approach.
You can start by getting informed.
- See the Movie "An Inconvenient Truth
- Sign up for email petitions, such as Channel 7's Sunrise "Cool the Globe" campaign supporting solar power rebates, and www.Getup.org.au to show our Government that this is not a marginal issue.
- Look at reducing your water, power and fuel usage (see how in "Easy Changes you can make")
- Talk to your kids, friends, family & colleagues about how to help reduce their environmental impact.
