Sustainable Lehigh Valley

Because of the coronavirus shutdown, we have again published this issue online, so you can download a PDF formatted so it is similar to what you would see if you were holding a printed booklet in your hands. (A print version will be available in January.)

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..

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.

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