Sustainability Collective Group
Are you working towards sustainability and reducing emissions? Do you want to connect with your community to take collective action?
Whether you live, work or play in Lane Cove, you're invited to join the Sustainability Collective. Council has formed this collaborative group to help connect and empower the community to live more sustainably. By partnering with the community to work towards our shared common goals, we can be stronger than the sum of our parts and have a positive impact.
The Sustainability Collective is "a group of locals that educate and promote sustainable living and inspire positive changes to create a resilient community for all". The focus of the Group is to reduce emissions, and there are lots of action we can take; from solar power, electrification, composting, GreenPower and more!
The group meets quarterly to guide progress and build capacity. You can decide how much time you can commit in between meetings to events and other activities decided on by the group.
Join the Group!
