Sustaining our environment

Engaging communities

As an individual and a member of your community you can make important decisions about supporting a sustainable environment. Who Cares About the Environment? tells us that people across NSW are increasingly taking on this challenge through their actions at home and in their communities.

The Building Sustainable Communities – Ideas for Inclusive Projects is a new resource for council officers and educators. This guide includes practical ideas and case studies for running projects that are engaging and accessible to everyone in our increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
