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 essays written by people from throughout the greater Lehigh Valley.Now called Sustainable Lehigh Valley, the booklet’s content is also available on this website. [directory] | [essays]

We now place more emphasis on creative work, and we think this will help increase awareness and provide creative visions of what the future will be like — and how that will be shaped by our actions now. See the guidelines for more information on what we’ll be looking for in terms of visual and written work, including essays, journalism, poetry, very short fiction, and other creative forms.
