Taking baby steps is how we can reduce our impact on the environment!

Colleen Morgan, a sustainability consultant, energy assessor, and former Green Business Coordinator at 4CORE will hold a workshop on how each of us can pick and choose what to tackle to lead a more sustainable life. Come with your questions: Are you into water use? Reducing your energy consumption? Are you trying to decide whether to compost? Bring your success stories as well, so others in the group can be inspired.
