Welcome to Sustainable Bainbridge
It is no secret we humans live in critical times. The choices we make now, both individually and collectively, will have profound consequences for generations to come. Sustainable Bainbridge was formed to support cooperation and collaboration among a broad-based network of local organizations, businesses, government and individuals to protect and strengthen our community's social, environmental, and economic sustainability for current and future generations.
We invite you to take a look at the work we've been doing since the inception of Sustainable Bainbridge in the Spring of 2006. To learn more about our organization go to About Us. You can also check out our Initiatives; sign up for our monthly e-newsletter; attend Sustainable First Monday (a monthly public forum held the first Monday of every month at the Commons on Bjune Drive) or join us at other events.
Our success depends on the active participation of caring people like you. Please contact us with your ideas and suggestions or visit us at our new office in the Marge Williams Center,221 Winslow Way, Room 102. We are there on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11:00 am - 1:00pm.
