Environmental Dashboard (ED) is a communications platform originally developed by Oberlin College faculty and students that combines real-time feedback on resource use and environmental quality with messages drawn from community members to engage, educate, motivate and empower positive change in thought and action.  ED is featured in the award-winning documentary 2040.  A decade of peer-reviewed research demonstrates the positive impact of this technology on communities. 

Community Hub (CH) builds novel applications and software frameworks to implement Environmental Dashboards in communities and organizations.  CH currently has contracts for ongoing projects in the City of Oberlin, Oberlin Public Schools, the Great Lakes Science Center, and Cleveland Metroparks. Through successful implementations in NE Ohio, our goal is to develop, disseminate and support the adoption of this communication technology for numerous communities that have expressed interest in ED implementations throughout the world.
