The Environment Association (TEA) Incorporated
TEA commenced operation in 1990 and is run entirely by volunteers. As it receives no funding from either the state or federal governments, it relies on the generosity of its members and supporters for its financial survival. All donations are gratefully received.
Day to day activities are carried out by the Management Team made up of members elected at an annual general meeting. There is plenty of scope for members to participate and new members and volunteers are always welcome.
The Environment Association provides information and assistance to community members, campaigns to improve outcomes and works towards the conservation of nature. Visit our website at tassie.org.au/tea. TEA also operates an environment centre and holds activities at Environment House in Deloraine, Tasmania.

If you think saving the world is too hard, you can just do a bit at a time.
You can join a community organisation that promotes the concept of care for the environment and works on issues to improve outcomes for the environment.
You can help conserve forests—don’t buy old growth wood products and do use recycled paper, become better informed and work on forest conservation issues. If you have a bush block, you can protect it with a conservation covenant.
You can choose products that do less harm, invest ethically, talk to your friends, family and workmates, maybe you can even start up a new business that’s friendly to the environment.
In the garden you can go organic, grow native plants, have a compost bin, grow your own food. Use water saving design, provide water for birds.
Fence out native animals - don’t kill them.
When you travel you can keep your car tuned for good fuel economy, maintain your car well, use plant-based oil products. Walk, use public transport, or ride a bike whenever you can.
At home you can install a solar hot water system, insulate your house, wear warm clothing to reduce heating, check energy ratings on appliances, keep appliances in good condition so they last longer. Use less. Only buy what you need.
You can buy nutritious, organic food and take a packed lunch to work. You can recycle glass, plastic, cardboard, paper and more. You can wear clothing made from natural or recycled fibres and wash with low chemical, cruelty-free products.
In everything you do, you can consider the cost to the environment first.
There are so many ways you can show you care for the environment.
Some things are really easy and others take just a bit longer.
Whatever you do, start today.
