This is where we need your help!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>We are seeking your assistance in identifying local environmental organizations to be included in the study and in the Green Book. It should take only about 5-10 minutes of your time.<br></b><br>Please review the 4 different sheets in the attached excel document. The first sheet identifies the steps and inclusion criteria. The second sheet asks you to review the existing list and add organizations and/or their contact information.
