Sustainable Ballard Monthly Meeting August 27, 2006

Started just 2 years ago by three people, we now have a solid group of 20 to 30 organizers and a mailing list of over 400. Sustainable Ballard embraces the idea that we are all founders of a sustainable Ballard, where community self-reliance and sustainability is good foreign policy implemented locally. Comprised of local neighbors, Sustainable Ballard originally organized around the idea of Ballard becoming the first US town to become energy interdependent. We decided it was critical to start a discussion with the town of Ballard about what we see as great economic and environmental challenges facing our community ahead. This effort is about empowering all of us to wake up! and take steps toward big and small changes together. Currently working with over 25 different organizations, Sustainable Ballard considers all people, organizations, businesses on the spectrum of responsibility and sustainability. Again, this is a communitywide effort and we encourage everyone to join us at meetings and events. Join Us! Thanks!
