• Our perspective is grounded in science—the type performed by peer-reviewed scientists, not special interest groups.
   
• Our approach is inclusive—of as many diverse stakeholders as are willing to fully participate.
   
• Our action is guided by the severity of the challenges we face—challenges that demand an immediate rallying of the troops and bold, decisive, effective action.

The goal of our Education & Outreach project is to develop relationships and vehicles for outreach to Sustainabiity Alliance members, policymakers, and the community at large. 

Our current activities include: sending out a monthly e-mail newsletter with an events calendar, news, and ways to connect; updating our website with information about our activities and links to articles and resources; publishing sustainability-related articles and op-eds in the Durango Herald and other local media; hosting local educational and outreach events; and establishing relationships with groups in the sustainability community to leverage or coordinate efforts and create synergies.

Past activites have included: the Appleseed Series on Exploring Local Sustainability, the Four Corners Green Living Expo, Earth Day events, the Green Umbrella Networking Event (November 2007), Swadeshi Festival (through 2007), Beaming Bioneers (October 2007), and the Homegrown Food Conference.
