The Arden Street redevelopment isn’t the only thing North Melbourne is doing to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, the Kangaroos along with their fans, have been huge supporters of Origin’s Green for Footy program since 2007.

Together, in the first two years of the program alone (2007 and 2008), 1,636 North Melbourne supporters helped offset approximately 2,083 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

This Green Round, you can join in and do even more. Recycling your waste, taking public transport to the game, and becoming more energy efficient at home are all positive ways in contributing to a brighter future.

An easy way to reduce the impact of your home’s greenhouse gas emissions is by choosing Government accredited GreenPower. That’s electricity generated from renewable energy sources, like wind and solar.

Switch your electricity to Origin’s Green for Footy Energy Plan^ and receive 25% Government accredited GreenPower for your home for just $1 extra a week (inc. GST)*.

You’ll also score a complimentary in-home assessment^. Our energy experts will install three star rated electric hot water-saving showerheads (replacing those with a two star rating or less) and/or energy efficient light globes (replacing all incandescent globes, excluding down lights) - helping you cut your energy consumption and reduce the size of your energy bills.

And we’ll support your beloved Kangaroos, contributing $27.50 (inc. GST) on your behalf to the club. This money will help them to offset their own emissions through the Origin Carbon Reduction Scheme™.
