Are harmful environmental issues impacting the health and safety of you, your home or community?
As the person experiencing an environmental harm, you are best placed to diagnose the issue.
Pollution in the environment or climate-related events can have an impact on our health. Health impacts of environmental stressors include cardiovascular diseases, respiratory illnesses, and cancers. In contrast, living in a safe and healthy home and having access to green spaces contributes to our physical and mental wellbeing.
Community Law & Mediation, your local community law centre, is running a free information and advice clinic on how to address environmental harms and protect biodiversity.
This clinic is for your concerns about:
- The quality of the air you breathe inside your home and outdoors
- Water quality in your home
- Water pollution in your local area (rivers, lakes, groundwater, and the coast)
- Biodiversity loss in your local area and access to green space
- Illegal dumping
- The impacts of climate change affecting you and your community
Our new Health, Home and Your Environment free information and advice clinic aims to empower you with the information needed to act for a just solution that ensures the health of you, your home, and your community.
