We're a nonprofit organization that promotes sustainability in the Chequamegon Bay region of Wisconsin and beyond.  We work with local partners to promote resource conservation practices and reduce overall waste and consumption.

Our recent sustainability initiatives with regional and state partners include:

• Facilitating baseline energy assessments in tribal, town, city, and county facilities as part of a state grant to create a regional Energy Independent Pilot Community.
• Providing leadership to coordinate our Green Team Network of Early Adopters of Sustainability, a consortium of 18 partner organizations that are putting green practices "on the ground" in business, government, and community organizations.
• Supporting development of a Wind Energy Consortium for the region.
• Facilitating partnerships across all sectors that promote collaboration on regional grants for sustainability.
• Building grassroots support including dollars, in-kind support, and friends to grow the sustainability movement.
• Leveraging local citizen support to bring new grants into our region for "future-in-mind" initiatives.
• Fostering the sustainability movement in other communities through the advice we offer about lessons learned in leading the way.
