It's hard to belive Climate Day is under a week away. We couldn't be more excited about our lineup of speakers! If you can't make it, don't worry--we'll share a livestream link so you can stay up-to-date on remarks Yvon Chouinard, our 2019 National Co+op Grocers Award recipients, and more.

We're also making booth posters so you can show off your commitments to retailers and other stakeholders at your booth. You can pick it up on Climate Day, or we'll drop it off during the week.

On Wednesday, March 6, we'll also be holding a free Climate Action consultation for companies who have questions on their climate goals--you'll be able to check in with experts and gain insights!

Best,

Erin
