Sustainability 101: Grounding Green Across the Gateway Region

Featured Speaker: Jean Ponzi, Green Resources Manager for the EarthWays Center of the Missouri Botanical Garden; producer and host of Earthworms on KDHX-FM and Growing Green St. Louis on Big 550 KTRS-AM.

Shifts in thinking, practice and values are essential to making sustainable options work—especially in business, where cost-effective outcomes must quantify the quality of green ideas. This change is happening across our community, in public and private spaces.

Jean Ponzi shares a vivid progress report from her perspective of 25 years as an environmental educator and advocate, engaging youth and adults around a wide range of environmental issues, including coaching over 100 of our region’s leading companies in the St. Louis Green Business Challenge. Her tour of this garden of success stories will inspire hope, affirm individual and group green efforts, and motivate more of the cooperative innovations needed to transform our human/nature relationship outcomes.
