A non-profit since the late 1990s. Sustain Dane’s mission is to foster a rich and diverse community of sustainability champions. Its goal: To establish Greater Madison as a national model for sustainability and sustainability innovation. The organization has units for schools, for the workplace, and for the broader community. An Outdoor Learning Network introduces kids to a greater understanding of nature and the outdoors. They’ve just finished their Ninth Annual Conference: Badger Bioneers at the end of November. For businesses, Sustain Dane runs a Sustainable Business Network, now in its 5th year and with eighty members. The effort creates and recognizes MPower Business Champions -- an effort that’s yielded 500 projects which saved $1.7 million and kept 59,200 pounds of CO2 from our atmosphere. And they have several other important programs working on the environment, story-sharing, and community equity. Sustain Dane is a broad-ranging effort to make our community friendlier to the environment. Learn more at sustaindane.org |  |
