1. Personal Activities

We can be more sustainable and provide an example to others through:

• using less energy and supporting the development of renewable energy,
• using products in our homes that are safe for the environment,
• planting home gardens and supporting farmers markets and locally grown food,
• composting, recycling, and reducing the amount of waste,
• conserving water and capturing rainwater,
• walking , biking, or using alternative transportation, and
• buying local products and services

2. Working with Neighbors

We are committed to helping others make changes of their choosing. We will organize work parties and events in which we can share ideas, tools, and our labor to build a more sustainable future. By working together with neighbors to build composting bins, vegetable gardens, or cisterns -- sharing skills and ideas -- we will also be building strong social networks.
