Ski Butlers Partners with Mountain Towns 2030
Park City, Utah
Ski Butlers has partnered with Mountain Towns 2030 (MT2030) to help mountain towns commit to ambitious carbon reduction goals by 2030 and then implement these solutions. The inaugural Net-Zero Summit is the kick-off event for MT2030 and will be held on October 2-4, 2019 in beautiful Park City, Utah.
“We formed Mountain Towns 2030 because we strongly believe mountain towns have the power to make a global impact on climate change,” said Park City Mayor Andy Beerman. “As with any community initiative, the support from local organizations and nonprofits are a big reason we can set ambitious goals and achieve them. We could not be more pleased to have Ski Butlers partner and lead the way with us.”
“Core Value #5 at Ski Butlers is Give,” said Ski Butlers CEO, Bryn Carey. “Part of the way we give back to the local communities that have given us so much is to be a leader in climate change. MT2030 gives us a powerful platform to make a difference today by focusing on setting big goals and then implementing the solutions and actions today. We are also excited to announce that we plan to be net-zero as a company by 2030.”
Keynote speakers include renowned conservationist and United Nations Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall, and environmentalist Paul Hawken from Project Drawdown. The speaker lineup also includes Utah State University Professor Robert Davies, Rocky Mountain Power CEO Gary Hoogeveen, Park City Mayor Andy Beerman, clean energy impact investors, leaders from non-profit organizations and many more.
Following the summit, Mountain Towns 2030 will take the commitments made at this summit and put them into action by connecting the communities, sharing best practices, and using the collective voice of our coalition of mountain towns to encourage other municipalities across the globe to take action. MT2030 will have over 30 mountain towns attending.
