  Hi Anne Marie,
  
  It might be worth you checking out and contacting the Eco-Buy Network in Victoria, Australia:
  http://www.ecobuy.org.au/index.cfm
  
  This is a member based organisation which provides resources, training and guidelines for environmental purchasing. The general mandate is to purchase the environmentally preferred product if it is within 10% of the price of the conventional option. Most local governments in Victoria are members and complete annual reports to track their purchasing sustainability.
  
  Hope this is useful.

• Re: Good Approaches to Promote Precycling?

  2009-04-27 22:11:55 UTC

  Hi Honore,
  
  I know you are looking for points to promote precycling, but I was wondering if you are aware of the freecycle network? It may be a good link to have on your website, and maybe you can work in collaboration with this program. It has been very successful worldwide and there are is a group operating local to you.
  
  The link to their webpage is: http://www.freecycle.org/
  
  Hope it's helpful.
  
  Good luck!

  Hi Fiona,
  
  When I was in Portugal last year, one of the beaches I visited had a dispenser for beach ashtrays. They were cone shaped, so that you could stick them in the sand. I have no idea of the cost, probably more than you were budgeting for, considering the only suppliers I could find were international. They are a great idea though, here are the links:

  The film cannisters are also good, and camera shops are generally happy to give them away, but as was already mentioned, there is probably not a big supply anymore.
  
  Good luck with it all!
