Sustainability – In Depth

What is sustainability? It covers all that is needed to have healthy people, healthy communities, and a healthy planet Earth — not only the environment, but community, participatory democracy, social justice, housing, transportation, peace, local economies, and more.

Why such a broad and inclusive definition? The Alliance realizes that for concerned organizations and individuals to deal more effectively with the growing challenges bearing down on us all, we need to work together and that means thinking wholistically and looking at 'the big picture'.

For more information, explore the sustainability topics listed in the navigation column to the left.

NOTE – Many of these sections are still in progress; we are working to provide resources for a broad spectrum of issues and concepts. We need your help — Please let us know if you have material or can help!

Get involved and help make a difference!
The Alliance has formed a variety of working groups that focus on specific issues and projects ranging from Earth Day to school-food issues to the media.
