Vision
We at Sustainable Cascadia believe that knowledge of place leads to a sense of belonging and responsibility to sustain quality-of-life in our communities. Working together, communities can plan and act in ways that result in harmonious solutions to economic, social, and ecological concerns. We rebuild faith in one another and our ability to work together to effect positive change. As community members, we become better stewards of the places we live, based on understanding our interdependence with each other and the environment. We learn and grow personally and collectively.
Our vision incorporates three key elements:
- Classrooms are connected to their communities to develop educated and engaged citizens
- Decisions are based on scientific understanding and knowledge of local culture and history
- Community organizations, governments, businesses and schools collaborate to improve and sustain quality-of-life throughout the region
