How will I know I am making a difference?
It's easy to make a difference. During the SLAHminars we will provide you with tools and assistance to assess your current situation and create an action plan. Your action plan will help you to create and achieve short, medium and long-term sustainability actions in your home. In other words, it will guide you as to how and where to start making a difference.
During and at the completion of the SLAH program you can use these tools again and compare results so you can see the measurable changes you and others have made, and reflect on further actions to take
