Sustainable Lehigh Valley

To conserve resources (and because so many places are still closed due to the coronavirus), we publish the semi-annual Sustainable Lehigh Valley booklet as a downloadable PDF, formatted so it is similar to what you would see in the print edition (Contact us if you want to get a copy of the printed booklet.).

All the written and visual art is also available on this website, so you can also use the links below to go directly to the Table of Contents.

Directory listings  & Voices of the Valley

Since 2004, the Alliance has published an annual booklet that includes both a directory of organizations, businesses, and professionals promoting sustainability in the greater Lehigh Valley as well as essays related to sustainability.

Over the years, we’ve given increased emphasis to these thought-provoking Voices of the Valley by people from throughout the greater Lehigh Valley — in fact, we now include a variety of creative writing and visual art.

“It looks so good! Thank you for letting me be a part of it!”
 

→ We’d like to include your voice! ←
See submission guidelines for more information on what we are looking for in terms of visual art and written work (including essays, journalism, poetry, short-short or flash fiction, and more!).

Now called Sustainable Lehigh Valley, the booklet is available as a downloadable PDF and much of the content is available on this website.
