CarbonfreeDC & Their Green Team Workshop

There are so many environmental groups in DC that it can be a little overwhelming. When making a decision about which groups to join, its best to keep in mind which environmental issues matter most to you.

If climate change is an environmental issue that is important to you and you are looking to join a growing local group, I suggest checking out CarbonfreeDC.  I attended a workshop hosted by CarbonfreeDC a few weeks ago and I was impressed.

Representatives from the DC Department of the Environment, a large local law firm and the World Wildlife Fund presented a workshop on how to form “Green Teams” in the workplace to encourage and coordinate environmental activities among the staff. The presentations were fantastic, well-organized and very informative. The turn-out was great, with about 80 people coming to the World Wildlife Fund headquarter where the event was held. At the end of the workshop, one of the presenters asked the audience, by show of hands, how many of them were ready to start their own green team and almost every arm went up.

One of the great services that CarbonfreeDC offers its participants is a “resources” tab on their website where workshop presenters post information from their presentations for anyone who couldn’t make it to the event. If you’d like to see the information from the Green Teams workshop, you can check it out on their website.

This group is definitely worth look into. If you are interested in Carbon Free DC, visit their Meet-Up page or their website.
