Upcoming Webinars
|
In 2012, SAC's goal is to host a webinar every other month. Our January webinar - Energy Reduction/Savings - presented by Vicki Fisher - was a great success. Our March Webinar, being coordinated by Mark McDermid, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, will focus on Making Great Energy Savings Ideas Realities. This a one hour webinar will provide a brief description of energy efficiency ideas ranging from the use of solar to preheat process water for a small manufacturer, to integration of building systems to yield comprehensive energy savings and the tracking to go along with it. This will be an interactive webinar with significant opportunity to engage with the people who make change happen. Stay tuned for the date, time and the full list of presenters for the webinar.
Two of our Alliance Members, the Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx), and the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable (NPPR), are hosting a webinar in February on Design for the Environment. This is one in a series of free webinars offered through the NPPR Lean and Environment workgroups. The webinar will occur on Tuesday, Feb 21st, 2012, at 3:00 pm EST, 2:00 pm CST, 1:00 p.m. MST, 12:00 pm PST. There is no need to register for this webinar.
