Community Climate Projects
The Seattle Office of Sustainability & Environment is awarding 4 to 6 contracts for community groups and neighborhood organizations for projects that engage the community in reducing climate impacts.

We are interested in supporting efforts that will help people reduce the climate impacts of personal and household choices in one of the categories listed below. Proposals accepted for projects with a budget of $10,000 or less.  

IN YOUR HOME GETTING AROUND EATING BUYING STUFF
There are plenty of ways beyond lightbulbs to save energy in your home. "Getting there" can be half the fun if you opt out of a car for short trips! A climate-friendly diet is actually a healthier diet for you and your family! Most people agree that more stuff doesn't mean more happiness. What makes you happy?

Proposal Deadline: Monday, April 22, (Earth Day!), 5:00 pm.
