SUSTAINING WATER WORKSHOP
Meet me at EcoForum in Sydney at the end of the month
8.30 – 5.30 TUESDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 2010
You are invited to register to attend this special workshop
… it is FREE
To everyone concerned about what is happening with water in Australia, this special workshop could be pivotal in a growing awareness campaign.
We all get bogged down in our local issues. The injustice, the stupidity, the arrogance and the resulting depression, lives destroyed, land destroyed. What a waste we say. Why can’t the powers that be see it we ask? There are great campaigns raging; and a great success last year for the Mary River, but in the main the situation seems to be getting worse.
There is a great opportunity here, provided by the organizers of Ecoforum, to bring the disparate groups together discussing the isues and determining a way forward. A way that that will unite the voices. A way that will be heard.
If you think that your organisation can win by itself then that is great. This forum might not be for you. If you think that you need help and support then this forum is definitely for you.
To everyone concerned about what is happening with water in Australia, this special workshop could be pivotal in a growing awareness campaign.
