Vote with the environment in mind

[]

Hi, if you’re new here, we’re SAM, the movement arm of Samsara Eco, an enviro-tech startup changing the way we recycle plastics with enzymes.

With the Australian election just days away, we want to remind you that the environment needs your voice. This election isn’t just about policies and promises—it’s about our future on this planet.

Why is it important to vote with the environment in mind?

Because the government plays a crucial role in shaping environmental policies, investing in sustainable technologies and ensuring that businesses operate responsibly. By electing leaders who prioritise the environment, we can drive meaningful action on climate change, protect our natural resources, and support innovations that make a difference.

How can the government help?

By creating policies that reduce carbon emissions, investing in renewable energy, and supporting companies that prioritize sustainable practices, the government can lead the way toward a cleaner, greener future. It’s about making decisions today that will benefit all of us tomorrow.

So as you head to the polls, remember to consider the environment this election. Vote with the environment in mind and help us create a world where nature and technology work hand in hand for a brighter, more sustainable future.

Why does this matter to us?

  • Samsara was founded to change how we recycle plastic
  • So it becomes a valuable resource — not useless waste
  • Because plastic is here, and it won’t simply disappear.
  • We believe we have a responsibility to put our mess to good use. But we can’t do this alone.
  • We need strong policy change by the government to make infinite enzymatic recycling one of the 4 legs at the table of change.
