Organic Parks Durango Is raising money to help the City of Durango purchase equipment necessary to manage parks organically. Learn more and pitch in!
Organic Parks Durango's purpose is to raise money to help the City of Durango purchase three pieces of equipment needed for managing the parks in Durango organically.
After the initial investment of equipment, the organic parks program will save the City money in the long run. It will also immediately start providing a healthier environment for the community to live and play in and increase the quality of life for all of its wild and domestic residents including bees, kids, families, pets, worms, water, and wildlife! Thank you so much for your participation in helping manifest this vision to support our global ecosystem.

In order to enhance food security, food safety and food access; improve nutrition and health; promote cultural, ecological and economic diversity; and accelerate the transition from an economy based on extraction and consumption to an economy based on preservation and restoration, we do hereby affirm the following Slow Money Principles:
I. We must bring money back down to earth.
II. There is such a thing as money that is too fast, companies that are too big, finance that is too complex. Therefore, we must slow our money down -- not all of it, of course, but enough to matter.
The Sustainability Alliance of Southwest Colorado will partner with 4CORE to collaboratively represent SW Colorado in the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado's 'Sustainability Collaborative' initiative. The Collaborative is a facilitating organization that oversees a consortium of government, nonprofit, business, and education sector representatives on the development and implementation of regional social, economic, and environmental sustainability initiatives.
SASCO is specifically excited to connect with policy initiatives taking shape on the Front Range through the Collaborative and to educate, communicate and advocate for sustainability policy in SW Colorado. The Alliance for Sustainable Colorado's mission is "to advance sustainability through collaboration among nonprofits, business, government and education."
