Pittwater Council
The Mayor of Pittwater, Cr Czinner, said there were many everyday things that people could do locally to protect the environment. "Clean air is fundamental to our health and survival. We can help create cleaner air and prevent climate change by using less fossil fuels (oil, coal and gas)". Cr Czinner has produced several articles in the community forum, Pittwater Report, and strongly supports the reduction of greenhouse gases within Council and the community.
