Lime Cordiale Tees for Green Music Australia + Green Venue Program - Free Workshops this month
Green Music Australia is thrilled to announce the latest drop in its “NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET” t-shirt fundraising campaign in collaboration with Lime Cordiale.
Lime Cordiale is the fourth artist to join the series of merchandise collaborations raising vital funds to mobilise the music community for urgent climate action.
The design, by Louis, is printed on 100% recycled materials by Tmorrow Apparel. Profits from the sales will help to activate fans and musicians to speak up about the climate and advocate for the planet.
Missy Higgins, The Rubens and Midnight Oil are also part of the Green Music Australia tees designs, and they are going fast. Get yours at: merchjungle.com/collections/green-music
100% of all sales go to Green Music Australia.
Addressing the impacts of what humans have done to the planet, the environment which sustains all life, and decarbonsing the music industry in particular, is work brothers Oliver and Louis Leimbach have been focussed on in recent years.
Green Venue Program
In related news, Green Music Australia launched its Green Venue Program on February 17 2025. This is a landmark initiative designed to help live music venues improve their environmental footprint.
Supported by the NSW Government through Sound NSW, the program is underpinned by the Green Venue Certification pilot, which incentivises and celebrates venues undertaking positive change for the planet. Participating venues will be assessed for their action in key environmental areas and published as a certified venue on Green Music Australia’s website.
Green Music Australia states venues are a major source of carbon emissions in the music industry, with overseas research putting their contribution at around 23% of the total impact. To help venues take environmental action, Green Music Australia has launched a free, comprehensive Green Venue Guide.
Developed with funding from Sound NSW and the City of Sydney, the guide provides practical strategies, tools, and case studies to improve sustainability in areas like energy use, waste management, food, procurement, and backline practices.
Green Music Australia will be on the road this March delivering a series of six in-person sustainability workshops at music venues across Sydney, Northern Rivers, Newcastle and Wollongong. Free for venues, industry, and artists to attend, each workshop will support participants to improve their environmental literacy and understand opportunities for change.

Emma Bosworth, National Program Manager of Green Music Australia, says,
“Music venues are the beating heart of our music scene – they are where artists connect with audiences, and culture comes to life. Ensuring these spaces are environmentally sustainable is critical not just for the planet, but for the longevity of live music itself.”
“From workshops to accreditation, the Green Venue Program will create a clear pathway for venues to reduce their environmental impact while inspiring others to follow suit.”
