Waukesha County Green Team to Host “Now is the Time” – A Free Community Conversation on Sustainability

Waukesha, WI – The Waukesha County Green Team (WCGT) will host a free Community Conversation on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at Carroll University. Guest speaker WISN-12 Meteorologist Lindsey Slater will precede the conversation speaking on the topic of Extreme Weather and Mitigation.

“For many in our County recent floods have threatened our homes and livelihoods, while remote fires have impacted our local air quality and the health of our families,” said Debra Schneider, President of WCGT. “We don’t often connect the environment with public health, when in fact environmental events can play a huge role in the health and safety of our communities.”

At the event, attendees will engage in a structured small group dialog of active listening and sharing on the topic of the environment and sustainability. The aim of the program is to bring together members of the community to discuss shared concerns, ideas, and aspirations related to the environment and sustainability in their communities.
