Sustainable Community
Sustainable Community:
Mission Statement: Our mission is to cultivate sustainable and environmentally friendly practices that mobilize members both across and within communities to transform their lifestyles by promoting a shared “green” consciousness. Our model serves to empower individuals and communities toward creating a sustainable equilibrium between lifestyle and environment. Through individual and community practices, our movement is a culture of environmental sustainability that seeks to change the world one household at a time.
Focus: Our focus as we create a sustainable community is to: - Educate, inspire, and empower the community in the practical application of sustainable principles, and the actions required to shape public policy. - Establish more grassroots support for sustainability advocacy at the local level. - Mobilize our friends, families, and neighbors to act in the interests of a Sustainable Community.
What are some of the sustainability issues we are facing? 1. Maximize the utilization of renewable energy resources such as wind, hydro energy, and solar power within a given location. 2. The conservation and efficient management of water resources. 3. Promoting energy efficiency and clean, renewable energy resources. 4. Creating affordable “green” housing for seniors, younger families and our local workforce. 5. Designing comprehensive and accessible public transportation services. 6. Promoting a strong fiscal base for local government that centers on sustainable practices and environmental sustainability. 7. Providing a network of local recycling centers. 8. Strengthening community values of cooperation, respect for one another and the environment, and local self-reliance. 9. Taking the long term perspective on sustainable growth and development. 10. Transforming existing communities toward sustainable “green” practices.
