Celebrate all that SustainableCT has achieved!

Please join us for our Spring into Summer 2024 event at Wickham Park in Manchester on June 11 from 4 to 7 p.m.

We're coming full circle - back to the place where we celebrated all those who participated in creating Sustainable CT with a "party in the park" in July, 2017. This year, in addition to celebrating the progress Connecticut communities have made over the years, we hope you'll join us in saying farewell to our retiring executive director and founder, Lynn Stoddard. We’ll provide light fare and good cheer, and beautiful Wickham Park will provide the ambiance.

This must-read report urges (yet again) that our time is up and provides some excellent data points for the business case. My question is - when are going to get on the ball and incorporate ESG and into their business operations and offer this type of consulting to clients??

The big firms, like Deloitte, and EY are moving full steam ahead, yet the lion's share of the 700,000+ consultants in the US - many of whom claim to be helping clients with -- fail to understand their role in this business imperative.

I've hiked more than 3,000 times in the same woods over the course of 20+ years and this piece of land has become my sounding board, confidant and close friend. I think most clearly outdoors, which is why I often take my most challenging and complex business quandaries to the beach or the woods for "input". Anyone else out there integrate nature into their business mindset? Inquiring minds want to know!

"The transition to a greener and more inclusive society is not straightforward because we still don’t have the technology or resources to keep up with the demands of the current world. However, we are confident that innovation, committed partnerships, and authentic collaborations will inspire more individuals and companies to become agents of change and work together to regenerate the world."

It's National Bike To Work Day!

Did you know that switching from a car to a bike can save:

-3-5¢ per mile in energy costs
-1-12¢ per mile in air pollution costs
- 2-5¢ per mile in noise pollution?

According to the National Cycling Network, the positive environmental impact would be even more staggering if we chose a bike over a gasoline-powered vehicle, saving 6 to 14 million tons of CO2 and 700 million to 1.6 billion gallons of fuel annually!
