Sustainability Now! | Ellen Trahan | Louisville Sustainability Council | Sept 12, 2022

On this week’s show, your host, Justin Mog, throws the first pitch with Ellen Trahan, Board Chair, of the Louisville Sustainability Council (LSC). The LSC is another local non-profit that, along with Forward Radio, will be participating in Give For Good Louisville on Thursday, Sept. 15th! Donations will help fund the LSC’s micro grant program, which will soon be opening applications for proposals in the 2022 cycle. The LSC is in its 12th year and we discuss its history and evolution over the years.

You’ll also get a preview of the 9th Annual Sustainability Summit, coming up on Oct. 6th, 1pm-4pm, and taking place virtually again this year. The theme of the Summit is “Louisville 2030: A Better Tomorrow Begins Today.” Highlights will include:
