A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):

Sustainability Champions sign-up to lead sustainability initiatives in their workplace. Each champion completes a Work Green certification checklist. On a monthly basis, champions receive a newsletter including information and links to resources or ideas for engaging colleagues. Quarterly meetings allow champions to share successes and challenges. Annual awards recognize achievements. Champions lead initiatives in their workplace such as promoting energy conservation month or leading waste-free coffee challenges.
