I hope you've had a peaceful and wonderful holiday season.
As we close out 2018 and look toward next year, I want to thank you all for helping build this movement at the Climate Collaborative! It's been quite a year, with our inaugural National Co+op Grocers awards spotlighting leaders in the industry, an incredible second Climate Day with inspiring speakers who have kept us motivated to act all year long, our first-ever Tracking Progress Update showing the majority of our community is already making progress implementing climate commitments, and so much more.
We've got so much left to do! Next year we'll be launching more working groups and developing a wider set of partnerships and tools to help you engage your consumers, suppliers, and policymakers and build internal leadership on climate change. We can't wait for you to join us in this work. And as always, we want to thank the amazing donors who make our work possible--feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn about becoming an official Climate Collaborative donor.
In the meantime, have a fabulous new year, and we'll see you on Climate Day!
Best,
Erin
