Have some #fun! Celebrate Trellis Coworking & Events and support a #worthycause. #LEED, Kyle Pickett
San Francisco Colleagues! I'll be back next week on September 12th and 13th to co-emcee a special event at my old office space! This space is also where The William J. Worthen Foundation was formed and where we hosted a number of professional education and holiday events. Our good friend Rebecca Brian Pan from Trellis Coworking & Events is throwing a fundraiser Gala on Sept 12th. We want to get Trellis LEED certified. This is a big deal because, as a home base for climate resilience, they need to show the world that they walk the talk of sustainability. A chance to dress up and rub shoulders with founders, investors, climate innovators, and entrepreneurs. All tickets are 100% tax deductible. Join us! ?

Building Decarbonization Coalition and The William J. Worthen Foundation acclaimed #Decabonization Practice Guide expert contributor, Chef Rachelle Boucher, on the move! #switchison #decarbonization
Did you know that the City of Seattle is offering rebates of up to $8000 to make the switch to electric? ?? Many thanks to El Centro de la Raza, the Building Decarbonization Coalition, and Seattle's Office of Sustainability and Environment for this opportunity to showcase the power of induction cooking. Not only is cooking on induction healthier for our lungs - it is fun, fast, and precise. As our homes, offices, and restaurants become increasingly powered by renewable energy we must consider food and cooking as essential pieces of this transformation. At Archipelago SPC we are always interested in pushing the envelope on food and cooking, both in the kitchen and how we approach systems change. As we continue to explore how cultural techniques meet new technology, I'm so excited to continue to share. Many thanks to Chefs Rachelle Boucher, Jose Garzon, and Marvin Rosete, MPA, Ed.D. for such a successful event. Many thanks as well to Jenae Elliott for coordinating. Excited to keep building here in Washington! Read more here ~ https://lnkd.in/gv75Vhz5 #chefluencer #theswitchison
