About us

Why was Eco Voice started?

Hundreds of people from different backgrounds told us they were looking for extensive, up to date information on the environment and sustainable development. We started Eco Voice to provide a regular and broad overview of environmental information. We cover everything from renewable energy and sustainable building to natural living and organic agriculture.

Why is Eco Voice a business instead of a non profit organisation?

We believe sustainable education should be integrated into every part of our society. We hope to influence the business sector by operating as a business and adopting the triple bottom line of ‘Community, Conservation and Commerce’ as well as working with government for sustainable outcomes.

We are doing what we think all businesses should do, adopting and using sustainable principles in everything we do. We believe in being an environment friendly business (EFB), making business decisions on the basis of their environmental impact. Is your business an EFB?

We want to promote the actions of conservation groups and build a strong green economy. We need advertising support to achieve this.

What funding does Eco Voice receive?
Eco Voice relies entirely on advertising and subscriptions to survive. We are apolitical and non spiritual. The only agenda we have is to promote positive action for environmentally sustainable development.

‘Firstly, I would like to add to your testimonials by saying your publication is an excellent environmental education resource that all Queensland Schools would appreciate. The obvious challenge will be to cover the ecological diversity in the natural environment that Queensland is fortunate to have which ranges from tropical rainforests to desert plains and World Heritage Great Barrier Reef to RAMSAR Wetlands on Moreton Bay.’
