We’re into our second week of our Annual Membership Drive, and we’re picking up the pace. You can sign up for a membership right now! The stories about why so many people care about the EcoSociety are flying in and I’m so excited to be sharing the experience of one of our outstanding volunteers, Rachel.
Rachel has spent nine months of her vacation abroad helping out with our 100% Renewable Kootenays initiative, and has taken on a major leadership role in building and organizing our volunteer team to be strong and resilient. What is so amazing to me about Rachel’s dedication is that she has enthusiastically committed to improving the conditions in the Kootenays even though she won’t be here to see the results.
Here’s what Rachel had to say about her experience with the EcoSociety:
“My name is Rachel and I’m originally from Melbourne, Australia. I moved to Nelson in October last year after visiting and almost instantly falling in love with the place. I love living so close to the lake and surrounded by mountains, I love that there are so many people I share values with here and a much stronger sense of community than anywhere I’ve lived before.
