Give STL Day
May 3, 2016




We are so excited to be a part of our third Give STL Day on Tuesday, May 3. This is an amazing day when our whole community comes together to support so many important causes and the work of non-profits in our region – including USGBC-Missouri Gateway Chapter!
Over 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. comes from buildings
– your home, your workplace, your school or your children or grandchildren’s school, your gym, your place of worship . . . You get the picture, the list goes on. Anywhere there is a building, there are people living, working, learning, and playing. We need your support to ensure that those buildings are GREEN BUILDINGS – because Green Buildings Are Better! According to our volunteers and leaders, Green Buildings Are Better because:
- Green Buildings Are Healthy Buildings! Katie Belisle-Iffrig, Green Schools Committee Co-Chair
- We only get one planet! Annie Smith, Education Committee
- A green building a day keeps the doctor away! Richard Schuessler, Board Member
- They are the first step towards vibrant, sustainable communities! Linda Goldstein, Board Advisor
Please consider supporting the USGBC Missouri Gateway Chapter’s work to make every building a green building by participating in Give STL Day on May 3!
Your donation will:
- Grow our Green Building Leaders of the Future through our Green Schools Quest& Emerging Professionals efforts
- Provide energy benchmarking & sustainable project assistance to non-profits and congregations
- Support Year-Round Green Building Education
Throughout the day on Tuesday, prizes and incentives will be awarded to help make your donation dollars go even further. And all our donors are invited to join us Tuesday evening for a Waste-Free Picnic in Tower Grove Park, hosted by our friends at the EarthWays Center of Missouri Botanical Garden! There will be games, a food truck and the Green Buildings Are Better display featured in the photos above! Learn more or RSVP!
Interested in our Green Buildings Are Better 15-Year Anniversary Display? It’s traveling around collecting YOUR reasons why Green Buildings Are Better and you can host at your office, school or congregation. Find out more atwww.GreenBuildingsAreBetter.org.
Thanks for your support of greener and healthier spaces for living, working, learning, and playing!
