Calling all Heroes, especially those based in New York City, we’re looking for you!
Specifically, we are looking for two hero’s to honor at our NYC Climate Week event:
Community Hero
An individual that has gone above and beyond in the NYC community to raise awareness and collective action.
Workplace Hero
An individual in a non-sustainability role that has gone above and beyond to bring sustainable practices to the workplace and has inspired colleagues to reduce their impact personally and professionally.
We will be honoring two individuals, one for each category. The individual should be based in New York and be able to attend our Women and Climate event on Sept 19!
Nominate yourself or someone else (everyone is welcome to nominate someone) by filling out this form before Sept 1!
