How can we build our homes for a more sustainable, low-carbon future?

A sustainable home is one that is more liveable, healthier, saves you money on water and energy bills, is constructed using environmentally efficient materials and thereby reduces its environmental impact, and is useable for you throughout all the stages of your life.

Does your current (or future) home make the grade?

Help fund 1 Million Women

Will you help fund the expansion of 1 Million Women's impact. Even just $2 makes a world of difference. It will help us to build our movement of already 1,000,000. It will help us to empower more women and girls to move their money away from fossil fuels, to eliminate food waste at home and to switch their energy to climate safe energy providers. It will keep our 1 Million Women app running so that more women and girls will have the tools to act on climate change every day. And above all else it will help us to empower more women and girls to use their lifestyle actions, their votes, their influence and every dollar that they spend to act on climate change.

Make a contribution

We're putting our money where the planet needs it!

We're switching our banks, super or pension funds if they invest in coal, oil or gas and we're sending an open letter to the world's leading financial institutions that are funding fossil fuels to tell them to stop! Will you take the pledge to switch your bank, super or pension fund if they invest in fossil fuels?

Take the pledge
