McHenry County Sustainability Summit

We Need Leaders Like You at This Summit

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is excited to invite key community members to the first McHenry County Sustainability Summit on Monday, January 31st, 2022. The Summit is Zoom only due to the pandemic.

Who is coming?

School District Officials
Restaurant Owners and Managers
Municipal Officials

Why is this summit important:

Food waste alone amounts to 6-8% of human-caused greenhouse gases, the equivalent of 32.6 million cars’ worth of wasted energy. We see these wastes every day in our own community, on our farms, in our restaurants, schools, and homes, and we know we can do better.

Keynote Speakers:

Jamie Brown, Midwest Specialist, Eco-Products
Julie Schilf, US Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5

At a time when the focus is on local solutions to the problem of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, our participation in this summit is so important.
