By far, the most import thing Sustainable Newton does to address climate change and promote sustainability in our community is to facilitate conversations right here in Newton County.
Several of our board members are trained members of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps. As such, we have been taught to understand and communicate realities of climate change and the practical solutions communities everywhere are undertaking to address those realities. We would love to talk with your group and further that conversation here in Newton County.
