WISCONSIN STORY PROJECT Sustainability Guidelines
We not only want to collect and share the stories of Wisconsin – we want to keep our state beautiful, clean, and safe for all Wisconsin communities and families. We can help do this by striving to respect the environment, conserving natural resources and reducing the use of materials and practices that have a detrimental effect on the environment and the health of our fellow Wisconsinites.
WSP aims to do its part by following these guidelines*
