To learn how to become more involved in becoming sustainable a great resource I have found in Sustainable Tucson. The Mission of Sustainable Tucson "is to create a community-wide network of people and organizations facilitating and accelerating Tucson’s transition to sustainability through education and collaborative action."
There vision is to make society thrive into the future. We can live " in accordance with there interconnectedness with the web of life"
This list is on there website and I found it useful that we could thrive on if we are a sustainable community.
Food is safe, healthy and regionally produced.People can safely walk, ride bikes, take public transportation.
Relationships are more important than stuff.
Neighbors know and support each other.
People feel empowered to use their energies and talents to make their community more resilient.
Education, healthcare, and meaningful work is available to every person.
Resources are equitably enjoyed through out the entire population.
Energy is sustainably created and used.
The community actively participates in all decisions related to the region.
Public policies are based on a sustainable vision for the region.
Everyone engages in peaceful conflict resolution.
Difficult issues can be addressed openly.
Decisions are made based on objective research.
Life-affirming cultural and spiritual practices are honored.
All people are respected, treated equitably, and protected from exploitation.
A regional plan is in place that assures water sustainability for future generations and the environment through rain water harvesting and conservation.
The impact that one person has on our sustainable future is huge! We can change how we live in many different ways. Just buy trying something new everyday to save the environment is the steps it can take to make our earth last forever! Looking at one place like Tucson is a way to create and change our futures.
I have been to a few meetings where they discussed topics such as the expansion of the Broadway corridor and how climate change is affecting Tucson
