Mission Statement & Goals

Mission Statement

To use today's technology to facilitate the sharing of knowledge needed for the efficient use of our natural resources, for both present and future generations.

Goals

• To promote Community Sustainability through examples. These examples can bring us closer to a better vision of Community Sustainability. Before anyone can elect to choose alternatives, one must first know what the alternatives are.
• To develop a pilot program demonstrating the advantages of a Community Sustainability Program. Our pilot program will demonstrate how environmental improvements will also provide economic stimulus.
• To provide links so better decisions can be made regarding Community Sustainability. Making no decision is making a decision in itself. With the direction of the economy and environmental changes, decisions must be made. These links will reveal what others have done and are doing.
