Resilience In Climate Change Workshop

The latest models for the Austin climate predict changes that will affect our lives, and the way we plan for the future. This free workshop will focus on the affects, and help you plan ahead.
For over a decade the Zero Waste Network has been training individuals and organizations save money, protect the environment, and reduce risks.

Working in partnership with state agencies, the federal, government, universities and non-profits we helped develop a series of trainings to help individuals:
 Identify the key environmental issues that affect them
 Reduce their impact

People attending this training report savings and environmental improvements:
 Participants report saving an average of $2,700 per year and up to $20,000 per year.
 The average participant drops their electricity use by 15% and reduces 5 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
