Thank you to everyone who made it to our May Sustainability Roundtable, hosted by the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena and sponsored by Coca-Cola Consolidated.

With an impressive green team with representation across departments and leadership levels, we appreciated the behind-the-scenes tour and were impressed by their hefty efforts to be more sustainable while managing numerous event types, a round-the-clock schedule, and multiple sites/venues across Davidson Co and beyond.

From strategically-timed energy reduction, to thoughtful water usage, to electric Zamboni machines, to fulfilling headlining artists' specifications around sustainability efforts, they shared a practical and scalable sustainability journey with us all.

Join us for the next Sustainability Roundtable in July! See our event calendar for more info.

🌡️ National Heat Awareness Day is a reminder that extreme heat isn't just uncomfortable; it's a climate and equity issue.

Here's how people in Nashville can respond together:
🌳 Champion the urban tree canopy. Green neighborhoods run cooler. Push for trees, green roofs, and shade in the communities that need relief most.
💧 Look out for your neighbors. Cooling centers are open - know where they are and share them widely.
🥗 Beat the heat in the kitchen too. Fresh, local, low-waste meals keep you cool and connected to the food system we're all working to strengthen.

Collective action keeps us cooler. 🌿
