Getting started!

A great way to get started on your own Challenge is to go to the Footprint Calculator link at the bottom of the left margin topic links. Please figure out and note your current footprint. Then decide what changes you might want to make. Pick one that you think will be easy, and one change you are excited about, and create a plan for change.



For frequent updates on events and new information please go to Facebook "Our Green Challenge"

*****************

Veronica "Roni" Jacobi created this website to help Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, and anywhere else to create small and large changes to create a better future.

One of the best ways to solve problems is for neighbors to sit down with neighbors. Let's join with or create community groups to address neighborhood challenges including reducing our individual and collective footprint.

(Google Energy Wise Neighbors for some great ideas!)


Please let us know what parts of this website are most helpful to you and suggest links and topics you would like us to add or expand on.

Again, please share your success stories and new efforts towared greater sustainability and lower individual, household or group carbon footprints.

The choices we make today, as individuals and collectively, will have critical impacts to our quality of life for the next few years, and even greater impacts as time goes on.

Thank you so very much for everything you do to help make the future more positive!
