GreenPlumbers is a global brand formed by the Master Plumbers & Mechanical Services Association (MPMSAA)[1] in Australia in 2000,[2] as a result of the severe drought in the country. The GreenPlumbers' curriculum was developed in conjunction with RMIT University (Melbourne)[3] and the Australian Greenhouse Gas Office.
