Sustainability
Now! (SN) is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) corporation
located in Napa CA. SN stimulates and guides human
community improvement, health of ecosystems associated
with communities,
and sound function of watersheds from which communities
find themselves relying upon. The organization promotes
sustainable development through education, public awareness,
scientific, and charitable
activities.
Guided
by its vision SN
encourages society to collectively embrace environmental,
societal, cultural, and economic significance of communities,
whose members work together, and is
ready to sit down with you and other like-minded people
to talk
about what your community or organization
might do to improve in sustainable ways.
Working hand-in-hand, we can assist your community
to start taking charge of its own destiny by examining
stakeholder core values and the things
important to
community members that will represent a sustainable
future. Supported by a foundation of solid ideals,
SN can effectively introduce the concepts,
tools, and practices of
sustainable development to any individual,
group, community, business, government, or practitioner
in a
way that will promote actions urgently
needed to address
the many things that bother you about our
world today. Let us help you think about,
design, and act on comprehensive strategies
to seek
community sustainability.
Sustainability
Now! is positioned to serve as
a think tank, conveyor of doers, and facilitator
of solutions. Our activities are defined by
the acronym SUSTAIN.
- Solicit
ideas, problems, and/or situations to consider;
- Understand,
define, and analyze by pooling expertise,
information, and resources;
- Synthesize
ideas into stakeholder options (integrated, holistic
approach) and multi-faceted action agenda;
- Train
stakeholders and professionals to enhance their
understanding and practice in sustainability;
- Assemble
experts across disciplines that can promote actions;
- Integrate
science, organizations, agencies, and resources
(partners) across boundaries; and
- Negotiate
processes and roles for a holistic solution,
providing support and coordination for partners.
How
sustainable is your community now? Does it desire
to improve
its environmental and socio-economic circumstances
to become more sustainable? Contact
us and let
us sit down with you to work through your concerns
and design an effective, sustainable way forward!
By taking this step, community members can become
more aware of what sustainability means and how
they can further improve the place they call
home – a
community, a watershed or coastal area, and/or
a region. Then we can assist you in solving any
problems or meeting any challenges your organization
or community faces in defining a sustainable
future.
