At this talk, you’ll learn about what’s in the plan, how its recommended strategies and actions can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve public health and air quality co-benefits, spur green job growth, and enhance the quality of life for all residents of the Puget Sound region, and how you and your organization can get involved.

Our REFLECT Night is a chance to slow things down and process together.
We’ll kick things off with a short pub-style trivia in teams (no pressure, lots of laughs), then shift into a creative, hands-on activity designed to help us reflect on the ideas we’ve been sitting with around technology, sustainability, and the future.
You don’t need to be artistic or “good at trivia” — this night is about being curious, creative, and in community.
