Wayzata-based environmental organization Live Green, Live Smart™ is giving Micro Grants of up to $500 for individuals and organizations working toward a greener future. Live Green, Live Smart™ is dedicated to sharing information and ideas about building a more sustainable and energy efficient community. The group at present time is racing to be the first to achieve Platinum LEED certification for a green home remodel, located in Minnetonka. The Micro Grants Program is a way for the organization to foster goals of creating a more eco-friendly world.
The Micro Grants Program focuses on areas of research on energy efficiency and healthy habitats, information sharing, and fostering a sustainable environment. The three areas encompass a variety of interests, including technology development, ecological studies, information outreach through printed and/or electronic materials, promotion of sustainable practices in Shelter, Transportation, and Lifestyle, and action toward sustainability such as planting trees or native plants.
