If so, please come along to this PLD session from 5.30-7pm on Tuesday 21st October, organised by the Ōtākou rōpū of OMEP Aotearoa (https://omepaotearoa.org.nz), where you'll hear from Leisa de Klerk, the Enviroschools Coordinator Lead at the Otago Regional Council, and Rowan Cooke, the waste minimisation and education advisor at Environz.
