September 22, 2023 is the submission deadline for your JOT sustainability stories!
The Just One Thing (JOT) campaign shares simple stories of sustainability impact on the environment, our communities, or our workplaces to inspire more businesses and organizations to act. JOT Finalists, selected by a panel of independent judges, are featured at our Just One Thing Sustainability Slam, where they take to the stage to bring their stories to life in creative, high-energy, 90-second presentations. Attendees vote in real time to select the night's winners.
This year's Sustainability Slam will take place in November at LaBelle Winery's Derry location on Route 111. We're aiming to top last year's amazing event with more interactive networking AND your great stories!
They are your short stories of sustainability impact on the environment, our communities, and/or our workplaces. Stories can be a workplace policy, a climate action taken, a renewable resource example, a community project, or any other innovative idea that impacts others. See past stories here.
