Upcoming Events

General Meeting  March 26, 2012  Mike Rudnick will overview the large body of high-quality science showing that healthy lifestyle can prevent, and often reverse, many of the diseases that plague our society -- cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, stroke, hypertension, atherosclerosis), many cancers, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and more.  It turns out that adopting these healthy-lifestyle factors are also earth friendly and significantly reducing our greenhouse gas production.

We are proud to acknowledge support from The Climate Project.

Our goal:

We will engage 100,000 people (40,000 households) in the Rochester area to reduce their annual carbon footprint by 10,000 pounds per household (a total annual reduction of 400 million pounds - 200,000 tons - of CO2.) Over a three year-period this will reduce the carbon footprint of the Rochester, NY area by over 1 Billion pounds – 500,000 tons – of CO2. This will be 10% reduction of residential CO2 emissions.
