We aim to gain community support for a range of environmental initiatives. Over the years we have worked with green groups and other community organisations to raise awareness through activities and programmes. These activities started to bear fruit in 2001, with more community groups involved than ever and a large increase in the number of individuals, schools and businesses participating in green activities.

We reach out to the community by giving talks and lectures; organising and running environmental education and awareness projects for schools, community groups, District Councils, corporations, government departments, and other organisations and members of the public; serving as advisers and adjudicators of community environmental programmes; and advising community groups and environmental committees on corporate environmental strategies and environmental awareness programmes.
