Ready to take sustainability beyond your household? Hear how people in your community are having a positive influence in the places they work and live.

During this panel we'll hear from people who have taken their passion to live more sustainably and brought it into the places and organizations where they can make institutional impact. The panelists come from a variety of perspectives - a homeowners association, a parent and teacher organization, a church, and the public and private sectors. Our speakers will talk about what they are doing, how they got started and challenges and bumps in the road. 

Whether you're interested in starting something similar or just curious how it could happen, join us to learn about the joy of working with others to make lasting hopeful change.
