Climate Independence Water Harvesting





Watch the water harvesting diagram in action.


Hawthorn Football Club recognises the need to be a sustainable Club and, as a major water user, has sought to find ways to work towards a sustainable future.

Together with the Victorian Government, Mirvac and Woolworths, the Hawthorn Football Club announced in 2009 a water harvesting project which will see rain water captured from the roof of the nearby Woolworths distribution centre, some 105,000m2.

The captured water will be used to maintain the oval at Waverley Park, which is the Hawks major training facility, as well as the surrounding parklands and lake systems at the Waverley Park Mirvac Estate, read more about the announcement.



Club president Jeff Kennett is joined by James Merlino, Steve Volbrecht, Greg Collins, Marc Noyce and Adrian Anderson to launch the water project.

Treesmart


The Hawthorn Football Club and TreeSmart are committed to making a difference in the fight against climate change, and are encouraging Hawks supporters to get involved!

Beginning in 2007, TreeSmart Australia has provided sponsorship to the Hawthorn Football Club, by offsetting the greenhouse emissions associated with team flights to play home games in Launceston. TreeSmart has also been a player sponsor, having sponsored Captain Sam Mitchell and a number of other players over the past six years.

The trees used for the Hawks offsetting are being grown on one of TreeSmart’s farm forestry plantations at Taggerty, north-east Victoria.
