Sustainable Community Stewards Volunteer Training
January 29 – March 12, 2013
Tuesdays from 6 - 9:15 PM plus two Saturday field trips
WSU Extension, McCollum Park
600 - 128th Street SE, Everett
What does ‘sustainable’ really mean? What would it look like to live in a sustainable community, a sustainable world? Join WSU Snohomish County Extension as we explore this topic, our carbon-centric lifestyles and alternatives from many angles: energy, food, climate, transportation, soil, water, biodiversity, solid waste and economics.
Learn how you can truly make a difference, both here at home and around the world - in seven short weeks! As a knowledgeable, trained WSU Extension Sustainable Community Steward, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint, and be able to share proven alternatives and new information with others that quickly contributes to a better future. In exchange for 40 hours of professional-level presentations and fieldtrips, you’ll choose from a variety of interesting projects (or create your own) to volunteer 40 hours over the next year - that’s less than four hours a month!
This training puts you at the forefront of a wave of major changes that are just beginning to affect how we live, work and travel, as well as how and what we eat and buy. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon and methane, are harming our atmosphere, which affects our climate. Last summer’s drought and the recent severe weather on the NE coast (Hurricane Sandy) are major wake-up calls that we can no longer ignore.
Because this training will only be offered once in 2013 and seating is limited, there is an application process. For an application packet, go to: www.snohomish.wsu.edu/scs/. The deadline to apply is Friday, January 18, 2013. A $30 fee (to cover materials) will be due after you have been accepted. Field trips will be scheduled with group input after training has begun.
For more information, please contact Donna Gleisner, Sustainable Community Stewards Coordinator, WSU Snohomish County Extension at donnag "at" wsu.edu or 425-357-6027. Make your New Year’s resolution early and come get your “Sustainable” on!
