Last Sunday we met at the zoo to check each other's progress and make plans for the rest of our project time. Only 7 more weeks to go! We have to make use of every single day. We talked at length about each company and what we are going to do to get them to sign our pledge. We also discussed upcoming presentations that we have planned, including the talk at Jefferson Memorial Forest, a presentation for Junior Achievement, a talk for the public at Bernheim Forest, and a big 3-day event at the Falls of the Ohio State Park. At this event, we will be showing our Power Point presentation on their big movie screen and will be a part of their 3-day event focused on climate change.
Making plans at the zoo
We also wanted to tell you about our great first meeting with Norton Healthcare System. Norton has 5 hospitals, 15 outpatient care facilities, and 300 doctors on staff in their hospitals and around the region in Norton practices. You can appreciate how big they are and how much CO2 could be saved by green practices. Emily met with Claire Rupert, who is one of their executives and is running their new "green team," a group of Norton employees who want to try to make Norton greener. Emily spent an hour and a half with Claire on Wednesday, and they discussed how Emily is going to help them. The next step is for Emily to meet with their Director of Facilities. We will keep you informed!
