South Australia is home to some of the most pristine natural environments and unique wildlife in the world, and we’re committed to keeping it that way. Here, sustainability is more than a checkbox; protecting our environment is a way of life. South Australia was the first state to ban plastic bags and single-use plastics and as the highest producer of wind energy in Australia and the home of the world’s largest lithium-ion battery, our commitment to renewable energy is just as strong. We’re ambitious, too. Our capital, Adelaide, is set to become the world’s first carbon-neutral city. It’s little wonder our tourism experiences are leading the way for sustainable travel. Slip away for a weekend completely off grid, sip organic wine that’s not only had minimal impact on, but nurtured the surrounding environment, or explore our rugged wilderness on an eco-friendly tour, while leaving nothing but footprints behind.
