Share Your Story
Share your own story from pursuing sustainability! It will only take a few minutes and other students, teachers, and school administrators from across Lafayette can be inspired and learn from what you've done.

If you're comfortable writing, then just send your story to submit@sustainablelafayette.net with the info listed below. Make it as short or as long as you like - a few sentences is fine! We're happy to provide feedback or editing if that's helpful. Also, let us know if you'd like to show your name (and email address?) as the author or be anonymous.

Or if you'd prefer we can come interview you like a reporter and write a draft of the story for you. This typically takes 20 minutes or less. We can take a few digital pictures at the same time.
Success stories typically include the following contents. Make sure to include a digital photo or two if you can.

1. Challenge
✔ What challenge were you trying to address?

2. Solution Details
✔ What solution did you end up with? Share details that would help someone else implement the same thing.

3. Benefits & Payback (optional)
✔ What are the benefits? How much money, energy, or greenhouse gases do you expect to save?

4. Informational Links (optional)
✔ What vendors, products, or services did you utilize?

5. Photos or Links to Videos (attach - optional)
✔ So others can see what it looks like!
