Mission

Sustainable Bainbridge supports cooperation and collaboration among a broad-based network of local organizations, businesses, government and individuals to protect and strengthen our community's economic, social and environmental sustainability for current and future generations.

We accomplish this by educating, inspiring and engaging the community in a wide range of projects focused on sustainability.

• Foster a local living economy.
• Develop community leaders with the passion and skills to guide our community toward a sustainable future.

Activities

• Sponsor and promote discussion forums, public dialogues, and speakers on sustainability topics.
• Develop tools to monitor and facilitate our community's progress toward long-term sustainability including: indicator projects, food and energy audits, green mapping, and asset mapping.
• Maintain a website that functions as an information clearinghouse and promotes community events relating to sustainability.
