The SLCEC Sustainability Project had it inception when we joined with Ed and Carol Firmage as they enter into a three-year project of changing their home and lifestyle to be more sustainable. Their project called “Be the Difference” begins with retrofitting their home for greater energy efficiency, transforming their yard into a produce garden, and bringing their living practices closer to the ideal of a small carbon footprint. The entire project will be documented on video and made available as a model to other citizens on a website. The website, (bethedifference.org), through this model, and links to other resources, will inform and inspire others how to begin to make incremental shifts toward more sustainable living, economically, and within a reasonable amount of time.
The SLCEC project is expanding to invite other individuals and groups in our community who are engaged in sustainability projects to be part of a collaborative group. Together we will support individual and group sustainability endeavors and learn from each other through information and idea exchange. This collaborative group will periodically invite specialists to join with us to offer new perspectives and developments on sustainable practices.
