Sustainable Street Tour Volunteer Opportunities
Inspire your neighbors. Spark conversations. Drive change.
What is a Sustainable Street Tour?
Adopting green technologies is a behavior change challenge, but seeing others like us make sustainable choices can motivate action. Research shows that people trust information shared by family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
A Sustainable Street Tour is designed to:
- Spark conversations about going green.
- Showcase real-life examples of sustainability upgrades.
- Make eco-friendly changes feel achievable for everyone.
By sharing personal experiences, neighbors can inspire and support each other in adopting sustainable practices.
