WHO MAKES PLEDGES?

Kulshan Staff made pledges to reduce their carbon footprint by 20,000lbs!

You can find our commitment on the “Cool School Challenge” website:

Kulshan Middle School Students made pledges

through Puget Sound Energy’s “Powerful

Choices” program where we calculated the

impact on water and heating costs if we limit

our showers to 5 minutes!

Alcoa employees are partnering with Kulshan Middle School students and our families to get the word out to our community that we can “Change Our 2morrow”!

For every one of the 600 students at Kulshan, there is an Alcoa employee who has the opportunity to take a pledge and support us.

Alcoa Employees Make Pledges

Alcoa has made a partnership with the Make An Impact PEW

Center for Global Climate Change to make it easy for

communities to participate in Change Our 2morrow (CO2).

What Part Does Alcoa Have?

Individually we can make a difference, but together, we can Make

an Impact!
