Working with the team at One Small Step taught me so much about my own impact and ways I can improve.

The climate crisis is the biggest issue facing our species right now

Since day one, it’s been important to us to use Harvey as a tool for funnelling essential funds towards initiatives that are helping find solutions.

Our contribution might be small in the grand scheme of things but it means a lot to us to know that we’re trying our best.

In 2020, we went big on environment.

And we’re looking forward to going even bigger in 2021 and beyond.

Trees, glorious trees

$35,000

we donated to regenerate habitat.

700 tonnes

of carbon stored per annum (via Greening Australia) - go trees!

This was the result of our donations to Greening Australia, who in 2020 planted an unreal 5,362,611 native trees and shrubs across 6,074 hectares of Australian habitat in total.

This year, we donated $23,000 to Greening Australia – double the donation we made last year.

We also gave a Christmas gift to the planet via Ecologi of 756 trees, and signed the Climate Act Now pledge.

People thrive where nature thrives

We're proud to support the important work Greening Australia are doing. Greening Australia has been restoring Australia’s unique landscapes and protecting biodiversity at scale through collaborative, science-based programs for over 38 years.

Healing starts at home.

Of course, we all have our individual parts to play to minimise our impact too. But it can be difficult to know where to begin.

While we’re a long way from perfect, we have been trying our best to live our lives in a way that has a lower impact on the planet.

More about our journey

We kept it pretty simple to begin with

We started by writing a list of things we wanted to change, and that list has gradually grown. And we’re still learning and improving as we go.

One Small Step for Harvey

Did you know that if 50,000 Australians reduced their personal carbon footprints by just one quarter over the next year, we’d save 250,000 tonnes of carbon?

One of our favourite projects from last year

One Small Step is an app that encourages this kind of positive behaviour change in climate-conscious individuals by helping them monitor their carbon output in their day-to-day lives. It works a bit like a fitness tracker app, and all of your information is collated and visualised in digestible graphs and graphics.

We helped One Small Step with their original product user testing and in 2020, branding and marketing strategy and digital campaigns.

Over the course of 2020, the app hit 10,000 users (just another 40,000 to go!). We like to think we helped play a small part in that success.
