These workshops were brought to you with support of City of Port Phillip Environmental Leadership Program by Greensong and Eco connect.

Eco connect grew out of the Environmental Leaders program as a group project to promote and connect people and organisations in the CoPP district in taking pro-environmental actions.
Greensong is Deb Punton, an ecopsychologist, environmental educator and permaculture landscape designer. Her EL project Sustainability of Self was based on the concept of helping pople build resilience and maintain wellbeing to continue and build on sustainable living and environmental options.
