Volunteer your talents to help climate protection

Interested in helping Cincinnati to reduce it’s carbon footprint and protect our climate? Want to get the inside track on learning to reduce carbon emissions at home and work? Want to be a part of the solution? The Cincinnati Climate Protection Action Plan needs your help.

From the Cincinnati Climate Protection Action Plan call for volunteers:

The Advocacy Team needs help planning and executing the marketing/communications efforts for the Climate Protection Action Plan. This team plays an highly important role in creating the perceptual and behavioral changes necessary to achieve reduced energy consumption and waste, and thus greenhouse gas emissions. The goal is to make Cincinnati residents and businesses aware that the problem exists and they are part of the solution; and to educate them about sustainable behaviors and challenge them to act accordingly to reduce their emissions.

The volunteer opportunities exist in three areas:

1. Marketing plan - Create and execute a multi-tiered marketing plan to reach, educate, and enable the general public and businesses to implement the related emission reduction measures.
2. Green summit - Plan and hold a summit for leaders and decision-makers of major stakeholders in the region - governments, corporations, institutions (schools, hospitals, faith-based), etc. to meet with one another to learn about, discuss and commit to ways that they can increase sustainable practices in their respective organizations.
3. Public education program - Create and distribute toolkits to Cincinnati educational centers to integrate awareness and reduction methods for carbon emissions throughout the community.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please contact Live Green Cincinnati and we will share the committee chair’s information with you.

Several of these task teams already have meetings scheduled so let us know as soon as possible. These should be fun, creative, interesting teams.

Thanks for your continued interest and involvement in climate protection efforts!
