Get Involved

We will have more news and initiatives on waste in future newsletters for you

to learn about and get involved. Speaking of getting involved, you can now

access a brand-new SharePoint site that provides an oversight of what is

happening across the District with news and upcoming events. Please follow

the link to find out more NSLHD Planetary Health - Home.

If you have an idea for a planetary health or sustainability project you would

like to champion, there is now a pitch page you can go to Project Pitch

Page.docx. So, please get involved and together we will reach our targets.
