Earthsave was an Australian political party that ran candidates for the 1999 New South Wales state election. The party had a broadly environmentalist focus,[1] and had a wide range of policies.[2] The party almost got its major candidate elected. Out of approximately 266 candidates vying for 21 seats the lead candidate came in position 23. The party was very successful in promoting support for vegetarianism and veganism and forced the Green Party to adopt more pro animal rights policies. It also gave environmentally-minded but fiscally conservative voters an alternative party to vote for, Earthsave's policies sitting to the political right compared with those of the Greens on some issues and to the left on other issues.
