First an important point: we acknowledge you are a charitable purpose – so you can hide the Sustainable Social donate button and references in our menus.  Then add a button in your page directing browsers to your donations website.  We are seriously here to promote your purposes.

With Rotary International soon likely to make the environment as a seventh area of focus, now is the time for your club or group to consider small, perhaps big, steps toward being more sustainable.  Maybe even consider starting a sustainability project in your club.  As well as helping the environment, sharing your stories will attract new people to Rotary. Here are just a few things you can do:

Invite a club member be your environmental representative and give a five-minute month report  about activities others in Rotary are doing – we will send stories and links.  You can join ESRAG  (Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group) and receive their newsletter. 

When planning club activities such as your weekly meeting, change over dinner or BBQ, it’s easy to do  the simple 5 point checklist  to make it more sustainable.  Again, post the activity to your page. 

Here’s a simple community action: on the 1st Saturday or Sunday of each month (or what ever works for you) invite club members and the community to meet to pick up plastics.  Keep it simple – each bring a bag to fill – only an hour – go for a coffee afterwards.  So it’s a fun, easy and on-going community activity.  Post the activity in your page in Sustainable Social.   Perhaps do an occasional press release about your activities.

To make life easy for you, we have volunteers available to set up your club’s ‘Page’, like this example of the Rotary Club of Corrimal, and hand over editing to you. Send your contact details here: Contact us
