Sutainable Bellingham


Well here is something I didn't know existed until a few minutes ago. It is amazing what comes up when you type the words "sustainable bellingham" into google. You get a website entirely devoted to sutainability awareness withing the Bellingham community. sustainablebellingham.org

Their mission statement:
"To reach the goal of Sustainability, we advocate for the strategy of Relocalization – becoming self and community-reliant (not self-sufficient) at the local level and rebuilding communities based on the local production of food, energy, and goods as well as the relocalization of governance and culture. Relocalization includes a firm commitment to reducing consumption and improving environmental and social conditions."

Spreading awareness about sustainable practices is at the core of making the world a more sutainable place. How can people solve the problem if they don't know what the problem is. This website seems to good job of spreading the sustainable word about what is going on in Bellingham.

The site features a blog about the different events in the community. It also has a section on current ongoing projects and information on how you can get involved. What I think it lacks is real adequate information on what business can do to become more sustainable, but otherwise it is a pretty good website.
