“Environmental awareness is the key to keeping your surrounds in the best possible condition not only for us, but for future generations as well,” Cr Fedeli said.

“Participants will be able to learn how to be waterwise, the advantages of solar power and so much more from the comfort of their own homes.

“I encourage those interested, to register for the online series and I look forward to listening your feedback.”
