We would like to officially welcome ClimateThrive to the world!🌏
After realising that bushfire education was one piece of the puzzle, we have broadened our business to create climate mitigation & adaptation resources too.
Take a squiz at our new website! climatethrive.com.au
Storytelling, non-preachy tones & joint-learning exp. contributed to @abcnews' #WarOnWaste having widespread behavioural impact.

🔥 Are you #bushfire ready? Take our quiz to prepare! 🔥
Recent bushfires in NSW and VIC remind us of the importance of being prepared. Waiting during a bushfire can be risky. To help, we've created a quick quiz to improve your bushfire readiness.

In a council of 54,000 people, it’s difficult to create bushfire education resources when you don't know how your community perceives bushfire threat.
🌴So we partnered with @NoosaCouncil & @FiretechConnect to find out...
...and the results are in!👇

Podcasts, community radio (like @SBS), WhatsApp, WeChat, & digital screens at ethnic supermarkets - know the channels that suit your audience (it'll be different depending on their culture).
