Camp Eco.Logic
Camp Eco.Logic 2021 kicked off on Earth Day and was held for 6 Thursdays until May 27th. Students from North America joined to learn about intersecting environmental topics from environmental leaders in the field. Participants were grouped by age in their small breakout groups. Our six day program had participants forming bonds with others, learning about the challenging issues of our time, and creating tangible environmental action plans.
Activating Community for Climate Action
At Eco.Logic, we seek ways to make environmental action personal and accessible. “Activating Community for Climate Action” is a conversation we participated in put on by The Business Council on Climate Change (BC3). BC3 developed a tool and framework for engaging employees in climate action called the MyCAP (My Climate Action Plan) which is now also offered to the public through this Trello board template.
This panel discussion provided an overview of the MyCAP Trello board tool, and attendees heard more about how this tool can be useful to amplify the work of environmental organizations. Attendees also had the pleasure of hearing Marlon Richardson AKA Unlearn The World perform.
