Camden Conference Brings Keith Blizzard To Belfast

Keith Blizzard

Why wait for the Government to force large corporations to reduce their carbon footprint?  Start doing your part now - Vote with your wallet and lifestyle choices.  Learn more about how to do this with Keith Blizzard, founder of “GreenBlizzard.com” on Tuesday, November 19, from 6:30-8:00 pm at the Belfast Free Library.  This event is free and open to all.

Keith Blizzard decided it will take decades for the world's governments to agree on and implement meaningful actions to curb the levels of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere, so he decided to control what he could with his personal consumer choices and lifestyle without becoming a monk.   There are a thousand ways to reduce your carbon footprint.  Some actions can be rewarding and impactful, but require some degree of upfront investment, others are insignificant and really do not add up to a hill of beans and are essentially feel good actions.   Creating GreenBlizzard.com as his bully pulpit, this well regarded website offers a slew of ideas for readers to embrace and methodically begin to reduce their carbon impact over their lifestyle choices.   Food and water consumption decisions are a significant percentage of the average consumer's carbon footprint.  Learn how you can reduce your footprint through your daily decisions. 

Keith has a BA from the Johns Hopkins University and an MBA from Duke University and after a successful career at Marriott International headquarters in Washington DC decides to preach what he practiced to promote a logical, reasonable, greener lifestyle.   Although he does leave a carbon trail behind, it is smaller than that of the average bear and getting better every year.
