Central Piedmont Community College’s (CPCC) Center for Sustainability (CFS) recognizes that environmental sustainability contributes to the overall well-being of the surrounding community and that as Charlotte grows, it will become increasingly more important for each individual to do their part and choose green.
That’s why the CFS will host a variety of FREE classes at this year’s Charlotte Clean and Green celebration, being held in conjunction with CPCC’s week-long celebration of the arts – Sensoria. The following classes will be held on Sensoria Saturday to teach local residents how to be more environmentally friendly, while reducing their carbon footprint and living a more sustainable lifestyle.
