Sustainable Lehigh Valley

Because of the coronavirus shutdown, we delayed printing of this edition, but you can download a PDF that’s formatted so it’s similar to what you would see if you were holding the print edition in your hands. Download the current edition of Sustainable Lehigh Valley in PDF format. Since we have color originals for a couple of the graphics, we’ve included the color versions in this PDF. (The print version will be available after the shutdown ends.)

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]

This emphasis on creative work will increase in future issues, 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, and very short fiction.
