Waiting to start our presentation at Jefferson Memorial Forest
With only seven weeks until the end of our project, we are in high gear. On Friday, November 6th, we gave an important presentation to the public at Jefferson Memorial Forest, a local park in the Louisville area. The presentation was a power point by PBI, including the powerful ice loss video, and it made a huge impact on our audience. We will be giving the same presentation to the public at Bernheim Forest on December 27th, and at a 3-day event focusing on the environment at the Falls of the Ohio State Park at a date TBA.
Emily discussing her personal experience with polar bears during her PBI Leadership Camp experience in 2007.
This is the flyer that was sent out across the city.
We also gave a presentation to the local Boy Scouts of America at their main office. They would like us to work with them on making a commitment as a local group.
As for new pledges, we will be adding two new ones to our website soon. They include Dr. Shellie Branson's Dental Clinic at 22,080 pounds CO2 saved, and St. Matthews Animal Clinic has added 18,950 pounds to their original pledge. Emily has been working with them to improve their green report card. We are also bursting at the seams to tell you about some upcoming possible pledges with very large companies, but we'll wait until everything is official before we announce their names.
On a side note, all three of us just attended a behind-the-scenes tour of our upcoming polar bear exhibit, Glacier Run, at the Louisville Zoo. It was absolutely amazing!
