And we are all "Futuremakers". If we choose to live sustainably, we can assure a future for all living things. And we can have some fun doing it too!
This site, created by WWF-Australia, is a place where you can share ideas with other Futuremakers so that we can live more sustainably. We hope the tips and stories here will be useful for you. (More about this site)

If you are, your phone is one of about 17.5 million phones currently in use, and that number grows every year. But what do you do with your phone when it breaks or you’re ready to upgrade? You might pass your old phone on to friends, your brother or sister, or even your parents. You might hold on to it and keep it in a cupboard or drawer, just in case it might come in handy "one day" (it’s estimated that 12 million phones suffer this fate!).
