Are you concerned about the present situation of your community or the place that you live with regards to potential problems from things like economic decline, environmental quality, political conflict, breakdown in societal relationships, shortages of resoruces like water, or even local impacts from global climate change? And as a result are you unsure about what to do, how to take some positive action, for yourself, your family, your community, and the place (region) you call home? Communities face enormous challenges as their social, economic, and environmental resources are depleted and destroyed. Sustainable development represents a holistic way to achieve recovery and enhance the quality of life for everyone in these communities by developing local assets to revitalize economies, limiting waste and pollution, improving the status of disadvantaged people, conserving natural resources, and promoting cooperation and efficiency.

Sustainability Now! (SN), a non-profit, community-based organization in Napa, CA, is ready to sit down with you and other like-minded people to talk about what your community or organization might do to promote societal improvement, ecosystem integrity, education, awareness, scientific, and charitable functions related to sustainable community development. Working hand-in-hand, we can assist your community to start taking charge of its own destiny by examining your core values and the things important to you that will represent a sustainable future. Supported by a foundation of solid ideals, SN can effectively introduce the concepts, tools, and practices of sustainability 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.

You can take the first step in this regard by indicating your interest for participating in the SN Community Sustainability Assessment (CSA) initiative. 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.
