Youth voices inspire our work
The March meeting of the Environment Youth Advisory Council brought further ideas and feedback to our table on topics including the next steps for plastics bans, promoting food and organics waste into clean compost, social media policy and career opportunities in the environment.
Taking a gap year to work with the EPA
Meanwhile, some keen Dubbo school leavers are going to have a gap year with a difference, interning with the EPA.
When most people think of gap years they might picture travelling the world or going backpacking around the country.
But for three Dubbo high school leavers, their gap year is set to look a bit different.
Dominic Clifford, Sophie Rindfleish and Amelia Orth were selected through a competitive application process to spend their gap year seeing what a career in environmental science could look like at the state Environment Protection Authority's Dubbo office.
