Past players of the Cool Choices game-based sustainability program continue to make green choices in their everyday lives even after the program ends. We are always impressed to learn how participating in Cool Choices impacts individuals and their decisions to take further sustainable actions. This month we were inspired by Emily’s story!

What green activities have you been up to since taking part in the Cool Choices program?

I have started my own edible landscaping business. I am encouraging people to plant more pollinator-friendly, edible, and native plants.

What tips do you have for others trying to be sustainable?

Just plant something! The best way to learn is by doing, so get growing!

Emily took part in the 2015 City Wide Cool Choices game in Madison, WI.
