New environment group formed

A new environment group for the Peninsula area is expected to be formed at the Woy Woy Environment Centre following a meeting at the weekend.

Environment Centre volunteer Mr Mark Mann said the group would meet at the centre and take over some of the work of the existing environment centre committee.

The work would include organising talks, workshops, film screenings, stalls and activities to raise awareness of environmental issues such as global warming and local environmental issues.

"One of the green movement's slogans has always been to think globally but act locally," Mr Mann said.

"We want to create a group that does just that around the Peninsula to raise awareness of things like global warming, to show people how to make their lives more sustainable, and to protect the natural beauty of our region."

For further information, contact Mr Mann on 4342 6589.
