The Sustainable Communities Workshop brings together individuals, businesses, institutions and government agencies to learn and share community solutions on the environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainability.
The 12th annual workshop will feature a “Building a Better Future, Together” theme, with expert speakers sharing the latest strategies on topics including:
- solar energy;
- sustainable living;
- climate change;
- social equity; and
- green building.
This year’s workshop also will offer attendees the opportunity to take part in small group, hands-on demonstrations on permaculture, composting, alternative transportation, sustainable purchasing, gardening and more.
Scheduled keynote speakers are Nathaniel Smith, founder and chief equity officer of the Partnership for Southern Equity, an Atlanta-based firm that promotes balanced growth and inclusive prosperity; and Randall Wells, director of the Chicago Zoological Society’s Sarasota Dolphin Research Program.
“The Sustainable Communities Workshop is an opportunity for our community to come together and share ideas, network and be inspired to make positive changes for important and timely issues,” said Sara Kane, Sarasota County Sustainability Outreach Coordinator. “Everyone attending the workshop will feel energized by our expert speakers sharing their success stories, and they’ll learn practical knowledge that they can take home and apply.”
