Learn how you can participate in the Sustainability Seal project. The project began in the fall of 2019 when Niamh, a life-long educator, took a Pachamama Alliance course on Project Drawdown whose mission is to literally draw down the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Among the solutions is the elimination of plastics made from petrochemicals. To learn more, visit the Sustainability Seal website.
Drawdown: Getting into Action
Project Drawdown is a global research organization that reviews, analyzes, and identifies the most viable climate solutions. With the help of Lore Rosenthal from Greenbelt Climate Action/Pachamama Alliance, Baltimore 350 held a workshop series (when people used to be able to hold in-person meetings!) to explore local initiatives such as:
- Promote aforestation (urban tree canopy)
- Save money by using clean energy (community solar)
- Reduce waste though composting and effective food management
- Eliminate single-use plastics/Bioplastics
At the conclusion, the group enjoyed a light dinner and shared the climate solutions they worked on.
