Envisioning a Sustainable Future for Your Organization
When: Wednesday, October 2 - Friday, November 1, 2019
Where: Online
Instructors: Dano Weisbord, Executive Director, Sustainability and Campus Space Planning; Dina Venezky, Executive Director, Non-Degree Programs
About This Course:
Creating new, environmentally sustainable processes in your organization can be daunting, making it difficult to obtain buy-in from key stakeholders. But delaying or ignoring environmental impact can negatively affect your organization’s bottom line. In this course, you will learn about environmentally sustainable practices that grow revenue and understand the processes you can affect within your own organization. By the end of this course, you will have created a plan to make a sustainable change, and you will be empowered to effectively share this plan with stakeholders. This course is part of the Smith College Year on Climate Change, which expands opportunities to learn about climate-action initiatives outside of the traditional classroom and how to live more sustainably.
