Contact Lists

Would you like to join one of our contact lists? We have:

Newsletters

About once a month we e-mail what’s new on this site and other topical items about Wellington. It makes for a good read over coffee. See our Newsletters page for past issues.

If you wish to join, send an e-mail to swnnews-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (no body or subject required).

Action Alerts

Action Alerts: From none to about four e-mails a month, depending on what’s happening in the Wellington environmental scene. Action Alerts are urgent or semi-urgent calls for action on a particular topic. See the Yahoo! Groups page for past alerts.

If you wish to join, send an e-mail to swnalerts-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (no body or subject required).

Your e-mail address will, of course, be kept confidential and not distributed to other parties. If you have problems or queries about the mailing lists, e-mail the list owner, Tom Robinson.

Help Us!

Sustainable Wellington Net is looking for volunteers with the following skills:

• Media Skills: Contacting journalists, magazines, etc, to help promote our site,
• Librarian/Cataloguer: Keep a track of environmental issues,
• Writing Skills: To help produce our newsletter,
• Sponsorship! Help our site or a specific area, such as the Green Map, develop.

These can generally be done in hours and locations to suit yourself: Probably an hour or two a week after the setup work is established. Please contact Mike if you can help!
