Avalanche Creative, together with the Department of Sustainability, Grenda and Ventura Buslines, have been working really hard to bring you the new hybrid electric buses! There are two of them, one for Ventura and one for Grenda, both using different Hybrid-Electric technology. These are the first of their kind in Australia and are part of the Government’s plan to increase the use of low emission vehicles.

A big party was thrown at Essendon Airport earlier this year to mark the launch and was met with much support and press coverage (yay!)

From the press release:
“It is estimated this hybrid-electric technology will provide a saving of around 20 per cent on fuel and greenhouse gas emissions compared to a conventional diesel bus.”

Grenda Corporation will trial a hybrid bus along its 900 route from Stud Park to Caulfield while Ventura Buses will conduct a trial along its 250 route from Garden City to La Trobe University.

**update**
Ernie saw the bus for the first time when she was scootering down Princes Hwy last weekend! Looks good!

Avalanche Creative recently partnered with the Australian Rainforest Foundation to develop a viral marketing campaign and design a website for the ‘Win the Best Holiday’ campaign.

The Australian Rainforest Foundation (ARF) are a not for profit foundation aimed at protecting Australian Rainforests, including the world’s oldest and heritage listed rainforest – the Daintree Rainforest – which is home to countless species of flora and fauna, some which are only found in the Daintree. The ARF are also campaigning to save the very weird looking ‘cassowary’, a bright and colourful looking cousin of the emu. It’s survival is instrumental to the conservation of the Daintree as it acts as a seed disperser by eating Daintree fruits and leaving seed-rich droppings on its travels.

For just a $10 contribution, you could help protect 10 square metres of our precious rainforest. Yes, it’s tax deductible and as a bonus, many Queensland companies have sponsored the campaign by offering the trip of a lifetime. So for every $10 you contribute, you get one entry to win the grand prize (it’s worth up to $15k!!)

So please support the Australian Rainforest Foundation by donating today!
