The Blue Mountains Planetary Health Initiative inspires us to look at ourselves and our planet, from a different perspective.
Recognising that all life is interconnected, helps us see that everything we do to the planet affects us, and our health. Equally, the way we treat ourselves and each other and all other species, ultimately also impacts the wider health of our planet.
