If you are new to the Viridian community or have been in hibernation, now is the perfect time to come out and meet all of the amazing Gen V’ers. Through the efforts of the Sustainability Council, corporate, and a team of dedicated Associates, April’s calendar is chock-full of local sustainability events right in your backyard. The goal of the council this year is to have monthly sustainability initiatives and two events in each of our markets for April. It was a challenge everyone was eager to undertake. We will see ongoing communications going out with details on the time, date and locations of these events. From beach and river cleanups, to tree plantings and even a New York City rooftop project, there is certainly something that will appeal to your interest to volunteer at and attend.

My first Viridian sustainability event, a beach cleanup almost three years ago, is forever time-stamped in my heart. The day marked my very first one as a fulltime entrepreneur and helped to reignite my personal passion for creating a sustainable family lifestyle with my husband Jay and our children Audrey and Miles. The day before, I had worked my very last day in corporate America and I was turning the page on a new chapter in life. As we picked up endless amounts of garbage off a local Connecticut beach that day, I looked around and realized that I was among some of the most fascinating and forward-thinking people I had met thus far in life; people I’m sure I would have never gotten to know well if I had not attended.


See you there!
