New Williston Smaller Footprint Group Will Reduce Carbon Footprints, Promote Resilience

Sustainable Williston’s new Smaller Footprint group offers a way to make big improvements in your individual, family, or small business carbon footprint and become more resilient to extreme weather events by working with other community members in a friendly, laid-back environment. Nobody can make every desirable change at once, so Smaller Footprint is geared to providing information, support, cameraderie, and problem-solving to help each member focus on one major new impact at a time while finding strategies that are cash-positive, free, or affordable and that handle time limitations and other common obstacles.

Sustainable Williston member Luc Reid will lead Smaller Footprint meetings and provide specific, actionable information about once every two weeks, starting Thursday, November 20th at 6:30 PM at his family’s home on Old Creamery Road. Get in touch if other days of the week are better for you and come when you can; there’s no need to attend meetings regularly to be involved. Smaller Footprint is free, and no preparation or previous steps are required to get started. If you’re working on your carbon footprint and also have specialized knowledge or experience about alternative energy, resilience, or other related topics, please come and share it!

RVSP any time to Luc through the contact page on this site. Even if you can’t make the first meeting but are interested in future ones, drop him a note!

Sustainable Williston meets Wednesday, Nov 12 at 7pm

Sustainable Williston will hold its monthly meeting this coming Wednesday, November 12th, at 7pm in the Vermont Room upstairs at the Dorothy Alling Library.

Everyone interested in environmental or sustainability issues is welcome to attend.

Williston Green Initiatives Is Now Sustainable Williston

We’ve changed our name from Williston Green Initiatives to Sustainable Williston. We feel the new name is easier to communicate and gets across who we are and what we’re about from the get-go. Other than this snazzy new Web site (OK, relatively snazzy), we’re still the same people (plus some new members) with the same commitment to helping along environmentally positive ideas and projects in our home town.
