I'm pleased to say that the hard work of a lot of folks is beginning pay off!

Last Saturday over 110 Eco-Fair attendees signed up at the Teton Area 10×10 Booth to reduce their resource use 10% by the year 2010.  These area households and businesses took a 10×10 Pledge and walked away with “Efficiency Bags” with tools such as CFLs and Smart Power Strips to begin the journey of resource reduction. Over the next month and a half participants in the program will have access to an online resource with tips, tricks, tools, and techniques to reduce at home and on the job.  By mid-July the Teton Area 10×10 Web site will allow participants to begin tracking and quantifying their home or business’s resource use.
 
The Teton Area 10×10 initiative, a program of the Teton Climate Collaborative, is an effort aimed at supporting efforts resulting in increasingly efficient resource use in the Tetons region every year.  The Teton Area 10×10 is sponsored and led by two Jackson, Wyoming-based non-profits the Charture Institute and Pursue Balance.  A Steering Committee of interested volunteers advises the Initiative and the Initiative’s projects are done in collaboration with other local citizens, businesses, non-profits, and the local governmental organizations.
