Next Sustainable Citizen Project starts May 1
Enrollment is now open for the 2024 Sustainable Citizen Project. The new “Sustainable Citizen Project”—running from May 1 to June 27—will teach program participants the highest-impact categories and the ‘right-now’ solutions to address the climate crisis, including actions to transform personal consumption, workplace practices, and governmental policy. Topics covered will include reducing wasted food, transportation, sustainability at home, land management, electricity, materials management, and empowering women. 
Classes will be offered in-person and online.
“Optimism, collaboration, and action are the keystones of this new class,” said Kelly Bell, the Master Recycler Program’s program coordinator. “Successful participants will demonstrate knowledge of harms associated with high-impact categories and corresponding actions they can take to make improvements. And perhaps most importantly, they will share findings with each other, public officials, and business leaders while implementing individual and group responses.”
