ESRAG - Ted (Waghorne) Talk

On Wed 2nd July '25 member Ted Waghorne kicked off the first meeting of the 2025/26 year with a talk on the Oceania chapter of ESRAG - Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group, which focuses on six main areas:

  • Biodiversity - The variety of life on Earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.
  • Circular Economy - Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Re-choose, Repair, Reuse, Recycle towards zero waste.
  • Climate - Rotary is uniquely placed to empower local communities around the world to implement Climate Solutions that help reverse global warming. If one Rotary International President could inspire millions of trees to be planted, imagine the opportunities that await.
  • Food Systems - For humans to thrive, our Food Systems must thrive.
  • Pollution - Search for a solution to put an end to pollution.
  • Sustainable Living - Living sustainably within the planetary boundaries.

NEWSFLASH!! You don’t have to be a Rotarian to be part of a Rotary Action Group. Anyone that wants to share their expertise to make a positive difference can join. Action groups are under the areas of focus – Promoting Peace, Fighting disease, Clean water & sanisation, Saving mothers and children, Education Growing local economies and Protecting the environment.

Have you got friends that have expertise that may like to be a part of Rotary Action Groups?
