OUR VISION People at school, work, home and play steward the planet like their own children, connected to its natural resources and beauty through conservation, efficiency, and sustainability efforts of all shapes and sizes. OUR MISSION We empower citizens and businesses with the tools they need to make sustainable choices. We believe that people DO care about a cleaner environment, but to overcome barriers that life inevitably brings we need a fast, fun, friendly resource like “Betty”. Big change happens through small steps. With Betty’s help, people and businesses can access resources and information to make better choices like switching out their inefficient toilets to buying local to recycling their old lawnmower. Every green action we take individually helps complete the picture of a better Charlottesville, and thus a better world for all of us. OUR “BIG PICTURE” GOAL Every city needs a “Betty” – a go-to person for all things sustainability and ecologically related. A person and place to go with all the tools to help take action locally to address the global problem of climate change. We work to create the best community tool possible via the Better World Betty brand, organization, events, online and offline interactive tools to be replicated in cities across the US. *Better World Betty is a program under the fiscal sponsorship of United Charitable Program, a 501 3(c) Revised: 3/2013
