What
is a Sustainable Crew ?
A "Sustainable
Crew" is a group of 10-15 individuals who meet for 1.5 hours, once a week for
9
weeks to learn about sustainability concepts and how to implement
residential conservation methods with the help of a trained "Crew
Leader" and the "Sustainable Worksbook". The "Worksbook"
offers information and recommendations for each of 6 topic areas: water,
energy, waste, chemicals, travel/transportation and shopping/food. Each chapter
emphasizes resource-use reduction, replacing toxics with less toxic
alternatives and increasing one’s understanding of the local, regional
and global environmental impact of their daily choices.
