At Sustainable Strategies, we are on a mission to make sustainability interesting, accessible, empowering and engaging. To that end, we are mixing up our newsletter. Going forward, in addition to other news, we will highlight: (1) a data point (2) a place or thing and (3) a person or persons doing something interesting and impactful.
A data point: June 28, 2021 was the hottest day ever in Seattle, when the temperature at SeaTac Airport hit 108 degrees, just after 6 p.m. While climate and weather are not the same, our climate is obviously changing. As I’ve said before, we did not “survive an unprecedented heat wave,” we got a taste of our future. This resource from Yale Sustainability does a great job of explaining climate change.
A place: Finnriver Farm and Cidery is one of our favorite places! With a deep commitment to both sustainability and craft, we encourage you to visit and support this great business, located in Chimacum, Washington.
A person or persons: I am thrilled to have been elected to the Board of Directors of AIA Seattle. One important aspect of this great organization is the commitment to robust programming. To learn more about each of the candidates, you can view a recorded version of AIA Seattle's mayoral candidate forum, here.
Finnriver’s Habanero cider is one of our favorites!
Now that Washington state has fully reopened, we have received many inquiries regarding the return to work, and how employers and other business owners can make their spaces safer for employees and guests. If you feel overwhelmed or don’t know where to start, reach out. There are evidence-based and third-party verified tools that promote safer spaces, including the International WELL Building Institute’s Health Safety Rating. As WELL AP and Faculty, we help clients navigate these tools and communicate their benefits to employees and guests.
