OUR MISSION
The Evergreen Sustainability Alliance is a nonprofit with the mission to foster local, sustainable solutions for food resources, waste streams, and energy use in Evergreen, Colorado, and surrounding communities.
OUR VISION
The Evergreen Sustainability Alliance envisions a mountain community in which all beings thrive and prosper in social, environmental, and economic harmony by honoring the interconnection, interdependence, as well as inclusivity in all of nature’s healthy systems.
We see all human activity integrated with nature’s balance.
OUR ORIGINS
The Evergreen Sustainability Alliance began with a group of Evergreen friends and neighbors gathered around a kitchen table discussing the need for more recycling and composting opportunities in the community. This community effort resulted in the formation of our 501c3 nonprofit organization in 2010, then known as the Evergreen Alliance for Sustainability (EAS+Y).
The core values everybody shared included a concern for living responsibly and respectfully in our environment and a belief that it is our responsibility to “tread lightly” on earth by reducing our carbon footprints, so that others now and in the future may live well too.
