We have got to take care of ourselves. We need only look to the abundance within our own communities to reduce our dependence on energy, food and other resources from far away. To that effect, Sustainable Ballard seeks to empower their neighbors to become role models in sustainable practices, community self-reliance and environmental stewardship. Most everyone truly wants to make a positive contribution to their families, friends, themselves and the world. Sustainable Ballard was created to give people tools and resources for making positive contributions.
