Benefits of membership
We believe that it is our moral imperative to work together to help build a sustainable future for the billions of people who are going to inherit the results of our decisions and the other animals and plants with whom we share this planet.
We believe that education plays a vital role in a resilient and sustainable future and we aim to build our membership to include all Tasmanian organisations working in this space. Together we can support each other as we work towards the same goal and increase our effectiveness in achieving social, cultural, economic and environmental sustainability.
