taking action on climate change

 

Welcome to the Salt Spring Energy Strategy

Climate Change Community Workshop

February 6 from 1-5pm at GISS

The workshop is open to everyone.   Discussion topics will include energy supply, food and agriculture, land use, building design, conservation, transportation, and others.

Coffee and tea will be available; bring your own mug – and if you like, bring a dessert or snack for sharing.  Please consider carpooling or taking the bus.

 And don’t forget to bring your ideas with you!

The workshop is sponsored by the Earth Festival Society, the Agricultural Alliance, the Institute for Sustainability Education and Action, the Salt Spring Island Transportation Commission, Transition Salt Spring, the Chamber of Commerce, the CRD, and the Islands Trust.
