OUR COMMUNITY
Council Oak employees are passionate about practical solutions that work to make our earth more sustainable and just. Below are three organizations we support that are doing just that.
Green Earth Book Award
The Nature Generation inspires the next generation to carry the mantle forward and awards a prestigious environmental stewardship book award for children’s and young adult titles, honoring authors and illustrators who spark environmental awareness in young readers.
CARBON NEUTRALITY CHALLENGE
The type of collaborative work Council Oak does requires face-to-face problem solving and community meetings. This requires travel and travel, especially air travel, burns fossil fuels. In 2019 we purchased carbon credits to offset 20 tons of carbon generated through our travel. We plan to do this every year in the future and are also looking for more sophisticated ways to engage our clients and stakeholders remotely with an eye toward reducing overall miles in the air.
