Become a Sustainable Floridian and Climate Collaborator, serving as a leader, educator, and catalyst of sustainable living and climate action in 2020 and beyond. Through this monthly “discussion-to-action” community engagement program, you will:

• Learn together and discuss sustainability principles and climate action opportunities in your community for Florida and the world.
• Share your unique perspectives, life experiences, and wisdom.
• Take personal and collective action to live more sustainably and protect Earth’s limited resources.
• Inspire others to answer the call to sustainable living and climate action for our collective future.

A pilot project of We, the World and the UF/IFAS Extension Sustainable Floridians Program, the Climate Collaboratory brings youth, adults, and elders together to share personal stories, learn from one another about opportunities for climate action, and create individual and community action plans in support of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or "Global Goals".

Beginning Wednesday October 21st 2020, we will meet monthly by Zoom from 6:00-7:30pm Eastern for 8 collaborative sessions and climate conversations. Session topics include:

• Introduction: Orientation, Meet-and-Greet & SDGs
• The Climate Crisis: Challenges, Opportunities & Action Plans
• Sustainable Living 101: For People, Planet & Prosperity
• Our Sacred Trust: Living In & with the Natural World
• Food Systems: Footprints, Handprints & Connections
• Water: Florida's Lifeblood
• Home Energy: Family & Community Conservation Solutions
• 'Welcome to WE' Show: Graduation & Joyful Celebration of Life

As a companion to the program, we are offering all participants a complimentary hard copy of Eco-Challenge.org's Choices for Sustainable Living discussion book. To receive this book, just provide your physical mailing address when you register.

We invite all to attend regardless of your financial situation - it is bringing your voice to the conversation that matters the most, so we are offering a 'Free' registration option. For those who are able and wish to make a donation, you may choose from several registration fee options at levels that reflect significant sustainability, climate, and social justice milestones and events.

Program costs are being covered through a grant from the eXtension Foundation Impact Collaborative, for which we are extremely grateful!
