D.r.e.e.m. Come True Letter of Excellence

Dear Bay Area Green Tours,

I am writing on behalf of D.r.e.e.m. Reality, a growing educational non-profit with a dedication to sustainability. Though we are a small organization, we are eager to connect with and support other organizations and individuals that are striving for a similar goal of real, sustainable change. This letter is intended to express our enthusiastic encouragement of your efforts!

Recently, I have been granted the opportunity to explore, first hand, your organization's mission to “demonstrate the sustainable economy in action, inspire support of local green businesses, and empower people to incorporate environmental responsibility and social justice into their personal and professional lives”. By volunteering with Bay Area Green Tours I have come to understand how truly dedicated the faculty is to accomplishing its mission. I'd like to share some specific observations that we believe you should be proud of!

• BAGT's participation within the David Brower Center community, as the “Greenest Building in Berkeley”.

• BAGT's tours that focus on various alternative energy, transportation, and resource conservation which present established solutions for environmental sustainability to consumers.

• BAGT's “Farm to Fork” tours' expressed intention to connect the community with their food source, enacting educational methods to raise the public's knowledge of organics and small family farming.

• BAGT's efforts to bring awareness of the importance of supporting local business, which have an integral role in creating economic sustainability.

• BAGT's specialized youth education, reaching out to supply the younger generations with essential information on various successful methods of sustainability in action.

I am personally very proud to be part of the incredible work that Bay Area Green Tours does, and extend my own, as well as D.r.e.e.m. Reality's, gratitude for your efforts. Please continue to keep up the excellent work!

Sincerely,

Danielle Stinson
