*[Enwl-eng] Four things you might not know about our trainings

[ENWL]

The Climate Reality ProjectDid you know we tailor our trainings to the places where they are held?  
                                  
                       
                 
                    
                                 
                             
                              You’ve probably heard us talk a lot about our upcoming 2020 trainings and there’s a reason for that. 
                                 
                              Our trainings provide everyday people with the tools and network to help shape public opinion, inspire action in their communities, and become leaders in the global fight for a better, more sustainable tomorrow. 
                                 
                              Applications are now being accepted for our upcoming training in San Antonio, Texas from April 14-16.  

                       
                 
                              Here are four things you might not know about our trainings: 
                               
                              1. WE TAILOR OUR EVENTS TO THE PLACES THEY ARE HELD 

                              Wherever we go, we work hard to make sure our trainings reflect the local community. We tailor our programs to focus on regional issues, feature speakers from the area, and hold our trainings in venues that are easily accessible to local activists looking to make a difference for the future of the planet. 

                              2. WE PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO HELP COMMUNITIES NOT NORMALLY REPRESENTED IN THE CLIMATE CONVERSATION ATTEND 

                              Historically, one of the biggest barriers to attending a Climate Reality Leadership Corps training has been the cost of travel. While there is no fee to attend the training, and all food and training materials are provided, attendees are responsible for getting themselves to the training location and for their stay there. 

                                 
                              That’s why Climate Reality provides a limited number of scholarships to help people overcome this barrier and build a more inclusive and powerful movement. 

                              3. ALL MEALS ARE VEGETARIAN AND LOCAL 

                              It’s no secret that animal agriculture is a significant source of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions driving the climate crisis, accounting for about 14.5 percent of all anthropogenic emissions. That’s why, at our trainings, attendees are fueled by hearty meals that are entirely vegetarian, with vegan options available. 

                              And because we don’t like to see any of the great meals we serve go to waste, we also undertake a number of strategies to reduce both food waste and any refuse that might find its way to a landfill. 

                              4. WE ACCOUNT FOR EVENT-RELATED EMISSIONS 

                              We’re aware that the trainings may be distant from some attendees’ homes – though we make every effort to recruit heavily for our events from the host region – and that event-related air travel is a contributor to carbon pollution. 

                              In addition to implementing an event sustainability strategy to reduce the emissions from the event itself, we measure related emissions, including air travel, and neutralize those emissions via verifiable carbon offsets. 

                              We hope you can join us for a training this year! Apply today for our training in San Antonio, or sign up to learn more and be the first to hear when our other 2020 training applications are available.
