About

Ask five people what sustainability means. You’ll likely discover their answers are as varied as the ways to help support green living. Here in Seattle, we are proud of our community and its status as one of the greenest cities in the U.S., but when it comes down to living sustainably, we often don’t know where to start. It can be an intimidating subject.

Entercom is proud to introduce you to [1 THING]. Our goal is to provide approachable, relevant ways to start living green—from hints on energy efficient appliances to action to support sustainability like remembering to turn the water off when you brush your teeth.

As a radio group, Entercom Seattle is entrusted by our listeners to deliver honest, relevant entertainment and information. Our on-air talent establishes relationships based on trust. With rising concerns about the environment, we find ourselves in a position to educate, motivate and ultimately affect change. It’s a powerful responsibility, one we do not take lightly. In fact, Entercom’s CEO, David Field, asks that our corporation do all it can to lighten our environmental impact. We are one of the largest corporate sponsors of the Wildnerness Foundation. Where possible, our fleet of vehicles is energy efficient.

With our Sustainability Stewards, Entercom will leverage what we do well to help contribute to the community in which we work and play. We hope you find your [1 THING], and pass it on.
