Join / Support ECO

There are a number of ways you can support ECO. One of the most important of which is by getting behind the issues we are working on. Efforts by individuals raising their concerns with MPs, through letters to newspaper editors, by ringing talkback radio, writing submissions are vitally important to improving the way the environment is treated. Even making other people aware of issues is important. Take a look at the ECO News page to see some of the issues we are working on.

Street Appeal

This year ECO's annual street appeal will take place in Wellington on Friday 28 March 2008, from 8am to 5pm.  We would greatly appreciate if you would consider volunteering to help us collect for an hour or two on the day.  Last year we collected over $1,500 thanks to around 20 dedicated volunteers. This year we hope to have even more collectors out on the streets. More people means more donations, which are essential to help us carry out our work for the environment. If you would like to register your interest, please contact Amelia at the ECO office on 04 385 7545 or email us for more information.

We also need support to enable us to remain independently funded and autonomous – we are a non-profit organisation and we rely on our supporters to contribute funds to cover our running costs. ECO’s campaigns are run by committed unpaid workers with decades of collective experience and in-depth knowledge of the issues. You can use your credit card online to support us. See below to find out you can financially support ECO. As well as financial support ECO needs professional services and goods, information on issues in your area, publicity and volunteer workers.
