Sustaining our resources, sustaining ourselves
On Friday May 2nd the Teton Climate Collaborative (that’s the group behind the Teton Area 10×10 initiative) hosted an event at the Hard Drive Café where eight area businesses told stories and identified steps people could take to reduce energy use and green their home or business.
The list of participating businesses included:
- Jackson Whole Grocer
- Town of Jackson and Teton County
- Teton County Library
- Hard Drive Café
- Snake River Roasting Company
- Teton County Airport
- Jones Boys Printers
- St. John’s Hospital
In addition, Hayden Leeds gave the group an update on what the Global Warming Hero league has been up to.
Over the next couple of months, look forward to in-depth posts about what each of the above groups are doing along the path to reducing energy use 10% by 2010.
If your business has done something “green” give us a shout, we would love to hear what you are up to!
