"I think the GreenPainters program is fantastic and exciting, raising awareness in the industry and to the public. Being my first year working for myself it definitely allowed me to win a lot more work rather than being a conventional painter. It gives me a more confident and credible outlook to others, and I am behind it 100 percent. It definitely has helped me to be further sustainable knowing there are others out there that do care. I try not to take on too much work where I have to travel more than 25 km, I have cut down my water use, and as much as I can I try to use [Certified Low-VOC paints] and really try to push the clay paints and lime paints where suitable. By researching into low voc and natural paints and sustainable painting it is changing the way my family lives in our community." -Marcin, Natural Colour, Sydney 'Reading and researching products about sustainability helps keep you focused on your own lifestyle'. - Ian Greenwood, Remedy Painting, Canberra
'Becoming a GreenPainter has changed my life. I have better health, and my business has grown to the point where I never have to touch toxic paints anymore.' - Daniel Mauri, Stylemaster Painters, Perth
