Online sustainability seminars
Hop online to benefit from Fred Horch’s thirty-plus years of helping thousands of people around the world solve sustainability challenges at home, work, and play. Bring your questions to get answers to the thorniest problems you face. A natural teacher, Fred draws on his experience owning and operating F.W.

Suggest a topic and if there’s enough interest from other members, we’ll offer a seminar on it.
