Going Green Resources
On February 3, 2009, the Seacoast Women’s Giving Circle convened a meeting to learn what we each can do to “go green” through our personal, family and household choices. It was a meeting focused on learning, inspiration and action. Our guest experts summarized their recommendations and suggested helpful websites. Click on the topics below to explore this information.
At the meeting, the 75 participants committed to two actions they would take after the meeting to “go green.” 90% of the participants have already started taking these actions or are very likely to do so according to our follow-up survey. The summary of these “going green” actions is both inspiring and informative. Take a look! You just might find a way to reduce your own environmental impact. (LINK HERE)
