Earth Day celebration

In celebration of Earth Day, the Zonta Club of Bunbury Inc, Australia, spearheaded a collaborative social media campaign throughout April, aiming to raise environmental awareness and promote local sustainability initiatives.

The idea for the campaign was introduced by a club member during a meeting of the city’s Environmental Reference Group, where it was met with enthusiastic support. Led by the club’s PR and communications committee, the month-long initiative featured daily social media posts highlighting photos, stories and insights from local environmental groups and Zonta members.

The campaign emphasized key messages from Zonta Says NOW and Zonta International’s Statement on Climate Change: A Gender Equality Issue, reinforcing the link between climate justice and women’s empowerment.

The campaign was guided by three main goals:

• Highlight local action – Showcase the work of regional environmental volunteer groups.

• Build community connections – Partner with local organizations to share their stories and images.

• Inspire change – Encourage individuals to reflect on their role in protecting the planet.

Capping off the online activities was a candlelight Earth Day long-table soirée, hosted by a club member. The evening brought members and guests together in a spirit of reflection and fellowship, serving as a meaningful highlight of the club’s Earth Month efforts.
