News and Events
We launched We Are What We Do in Australia, in conjunction with the publication of Change the World for Ten Bucks.
It joins a UK edition and is complimented by a German and Canadian edition.
We've recently launched the sequel, Change the World 9 to 5, with 50 more actions to make your workplace a better place to be. It's available now from our Shopping section and all major book stores.
And for our final trick (drumroll please) the New Zealand edition, Change the World for Fifteen Bucks will be available from 20th Feb 08.

Cow power!
An in the know 'We Are What We Doer' has let us in on an alternative fuel source following up from our chocolate fuel story: cow powered trains! No, this doesn’t refer to a horde of cows pulling a train laboriously along the tracks, but rather using their guts. While it sounds very distasteful and even morbid, it’s actually a very environmentally savvy invention from the Swedes in the development of clean energy.Bless their cotton socks (teamed with sandals) those Scandinavians are an inventive ...

20.03.2008 Power of the NEO
No, this isn’t a late night show on the Sci-Fi channel.The NEO – a term used to describe an emerging group in Australian society. There are 4 million NEO’s out there, and you won’t recognize them by funny hair or lycra suits. Instead you may see them out and about, spending more money, but on less “stuff”. They invest in memories or emotional experiences rather than just accumulating more possessions.It may be a good glass of wine, but less of them, a trip to the theater instead of the mall, or ...

Green roofs are the next big thing to hit our cityscapes. From manicured gardens to wild mini forests, our city spaces are changing. Think Bilbo Baggins' Hobbit house in the middle of a buzzing metropolis and you get the idea.Adorning building's across the major cities of the globe, these gardens do more than just look ever so pretty: they are actually environmentally friendly and sustainable. Green roofs cool buildings down cutting back on the need for air-conditioning. Green absorbs less heat ... Read the full article
