Sustainability Action Programs are how we affect positive change.  Each Program addresses some aspect of our triple bottom line: Ecology-Energy-Economy.  We are working for ecological sustainability, energy descent, and economic resilience – each one being impacted by and at the same time reinforcing the others. The core principles that guide our Program activities are:

• Action oriented solutions 
• Personal lifestyle change and institutional policy change 
• Societal in scope through mobilizing people locally 
• Re-localizing our economy 
• Re-skilling people 
• Social justice

We are not a coffee klatch or a book club or a salon.  Members organize activities like solar dehydrator workshops, community gardens, or air pollution monitoring.  Or we spur group advocacy for policy change in bicycle transportation, urban agriculture, or environmental preservation.  Some Programs have “champions” who energize the actions, while others are more or less dormant, depending on who is active in our organization.  We’re always interested in new members with new strategies and new energy.  Check us out.  One of the following Programs may be just for you.
