Summit of Sustainability Awards application deadline has been extended to Friday, August 8: summitofsustainability.org/apply-sosa/. Some helpful hints: ◾You can advance through questions on the application by just inserting “123” in an answer. ◾You can save the application and return to work on it later. ◾It is okay if you do not have information to answer every category; every organization is at a different stage in their sustainability journey. One aspect of your plan may be the BEST example and alone may be worthy of recognition! ◾The optional sections are meant to strengthen your application. ◾In all categories it is about expressing what your sustainability plan is and how you are progressing towards meeting individual goal. ◾Reminder that metrics (i.e. measurements) can be as easy as citing your utility bills. Simple example: In December we used 100KWH of electricity. In January we installed energy efficient lighting, and in February we used 80 KWH of electricity – saving 20 KWH of electricity as a result of the installation. For purchasing, express what you wanted to achieve and the steps you are taking to get there. Simple example: our office set a goal to have 100% recycled paper in use for all print projects. Metric: as of today 65% of our print materials used recycled paper. For purchasing, express what you wanted to achieve and the steps you are taking to get there.
