Sustainable Communities Committee

The ECC aims to help Rotary and Rotaract members and clubs create more sustainable communities through their Rotary work and everyday lives. The committee is a group of concerned Rotarians with members from both Rotary and Rotaract clubs.

Committee members see ‘sustainability’ as having several wide-ranging, yet connected meanings. These include something that is self-sustaining or self-efficient, something planned for long-term use or something ‘good for the environment’. These multiple meanings of sustainability are relevant to Rotary in many ways.

The Committee promotes and supports projects and initiatives within and outside the District which have an environmentally sustainable focus. This includes projects which aim to protect or restore the local environment and ecosystems, those which make use of sustainable technologies or those promoting the uptake of everyday sustainable practices.
