What are you doing for Earth Week 2017?
Ah, Earth Week is here!
Green Calgary has many of its own plans for how to celebrate Earth Week, but what are you doing for Earth Week? It's a great time to set a new green goal and make a plan to carry it out. We all make many goals in our lives, goals for our homes, our careers, and our families, and setting a green goal is much the same. Figure out what kind of change you want to make, set the goal, and find resources to help you follow through. Whether it's your first green goal or your tenth, we're here to help you! Call our Help Desk, message us on Twitter or Facebook, or come see us! We also have tons of guides on our website to help you out!
