What and Why Sustainability Week
The idea of Sustainability Week came about when we (SWC Eco-Art Team: Alex Bunik, Marsha Golangco) were seeking a day in October to announce the winners in the Eco-Art youth Competition (for information on Eco-Art visit www.sustainablewalnutcreek.org). We learned that there is a Sustainability Day, the last Wednesday in October each year.
Benefits of having an annual Sustainability Week:
✓ It re-enforces the fact that the City of WC is a sustainability leader
✓ Being the first and only City to hold a week of sustainability events each year
✓ Elevates the sustainable standings of WC.
✓ This would draw locals, people from neighboring cities those visiting SF & Bay Area for the events, to eat, shop and to enjoy WC.
✓ It would help in downtown’s recovery and boost the morale.
✓ And this could be done at a relative low cost. Put up banners around town, Some promotional ads in Diablo and WC Magazine along with social media.
