| How
Teams Work |
| An
EnAct team is a group of five to ten households that meets informally
and supports each other in taking actions to live more sustainable
lifestyles.
If
you want to start a team in your neighborhood, center
of faith or workplace, please contact the EnAct Program Manager,
Nicole Craig, at enact@madisonenvironmental.com.
She will guide you through the process and provide support
and information to get you started.

TEAM
FORMAT
The EnAct team approach helps participants learn from
each other to explore their
environmental values and put them into practice. |
- An
EnAct Program Manager works with you to recruit team
members and schedule a kick-off meeting at a convenient
time and location.
- A
Program Manager or Volunteer Facilitator leads the
kick-off meeting and offers support to the team throughout
the process.
- Team members take turns
hosting the six topic meetings (solid waste,
transportation, energy, water conservation, water quality,
and food choices). At
each meeting, team members discuss their progress on goals
from the previous unit and choose actions to take for the
next unit.
- Meetings
are informal and are held in participant's homes or a public meeting
place. Meeting last approximately 1.5 hours and are held
every two to three weeks.

HOUSEHOLD OPTION

you would like to participate in EnAct, but do not have time
or are not interested in joining a team, you may choose to participate
as a single household. EnAct will provide information and guidance
to implement and document actions you take to reduce resource
use in your household. Please contact enact@madisonenvironmental.com to sign up for the single household option.
