A healthy community for ALL
A healthy and intact ecosystem that can sustain us
An increase in local manufacturing and energy production
Living wage jobs that fulfill the desire for right livelihood, and opportunities to reclaim lost skills
Healthy food grown locally on family farms
An improved quality of life—meeting the basic needs of all
Implementation of the Earth Charter—a sustainable framework and progress measure

In these times of uncertainty, are you interested in actively helping to create the systemic change necessary to ensure the continued quality of life we enjoy so much here in Whatcom County? Yes, this is a challenge. But, together, it's one we can meet. We have more in common than our needs for clean air and water, and nourishing soil.

We can work locally to create a microcosm of sustainability than can serve as an example for all the people that are fleeing the areas they live in now because they've been destroyed. Together, we can build a society that is ecologically wise and socially just. Our grandchildren will thank us for it.

Join us--because it is going to take us all to be and create the change we want to see in the world.

I call it sharing, or life affirming. It's Pay It Forward, or my philosophy--Celebrantism, as in life-celebrating.
