Ways to Save the World this Christmas

1. A Healthy Ocean = a Healthy Me

Gift a $10 Gowings Whale Trust certificate to someone you love who loves whales and dolphins. Your gift will fund the protection of our ocean environment.

Oceans feed us, regulate our climate, and generate most of the oxygen we breathe. New research has shown that baleen whales – those majestic marine mammals we love, like the humpback – are responsible for moving tons of nutrients around the ocean to fertilise blooms of microscopic phytoplankton that start the whole cycle of life in the ocean.

Help us to fund continuing research into whales, dolphins and other marine mammals.

2. Sun Smart = Sea Smarter

Give that difficult-to-buy-for relative a sensible, yet stylish, Gowings Whale Trust cap. 100% of your money will go to further research into marine mammal survival, important for all the reasons outlined in #1.

4. Give Nanna the Hump

By which we mean a useful GWT humpback whale bag. Not big enough to fit an actual humpback, but perfect for Nanna’s knitting, Nanna’s cat or Nanna’s vintage 1970s Save the Whale demo placards. Your dollars well spent will help us continue her good work.

5. Green is the New Red

Sorry Santa, but you need a wardrobe overhaul. Give him one of our GWT polo shirts and your money will help us support our partners, like the Plastic Collective, to find innovative ways to recycle marine plastics. You’ll look good in every way!

6. Keep Christmas Green…with a GWT Keep-Cup 

Australians throw out 2.7 million single-use or disposable coffee cups every single day. This adds up to 1 billion coffee cups thrown out every year, and many find their way into our waterways. Wouldn’t you rather stuff a stocking with stuff that won’t stuff up the planet? Grab one of our gorgeous glassy, classy keep cups. Drink coffee and feel good!

9. The Biggest Love Story of All Time…

Is our love of the ocean. How thrilling is it, every time, to see a school of dolphins surfing the swell? To stand on a headland watching a young humpback leap from the water like they know you’re watching? Here at Gowings Whale Trust we have never outgrown that elation. Give big love back to the biggest animals on Earth by gifting your loved one a Gowings Whale Trust Limited Edition watercolour for Christmas.
