Earth Month Project To see the 2008 Earth Month Report, click here.
Strategic Planning
CFL and Vote The goal of this project is to raise environmental literacy AND provide compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL's) to enable residents in Portage and Marathon counties to take an immediate first step toward sustainability in their own homes. The project will distribute over 5,000 CFLS in these two counties by distributing them in or near the polling places during the presidential election, a more sustainable distribution than driving door-to-door.

Watch the calendar for upcoming meetings.
