Climate Wise Fall Fair

Today I attended the Climate Wise Fall Fair, which celebrated 10 years for the Climate Wise Program here in Fort Collins. The focus this year was reaching out to engage employees.  Our NRRC Building A Green Team has this as a goal for year 2 of our Climate Wise membership.  There are great presentations on being a “learning organization” and how people retain information.  You guessed it…we learn best by participation and teaching others.  All of the presentations from today will be posted on the Climate Wise web site.

Also, they shared tools for sustainability evaluation and planning.  Check out www.oneplanetvision.org for a free Sustainability Management System you can use at home or for ideas in your office.
