• Develop a strategy for canvassing businesses in your area
• Sign up for a one hour canvassing shift to speak directly with businesses (to be completed one week after the training)
• Meet people with a shared interest of reducing your community's environmental impact!

Volunteer Commitment: Attend the January 20th training and sign up and complete a one hour canvassing shift talk one-on-one with businesses in an area of your choice. Shift must be completed within one week of the training. Volunteers will submit a collection form with a list of businesses they visited to Green Business Coordinator, Emi Hashizume at ehashizume@smcgov.org
