- The mission of The Sustainable Living Institute is to provide educational curriculum, training, and support materials that provide simple and effective methodologies that empower individuals and communities to achieve sustainability.
- Our goal is to present a model of transition for sustainable living that offers systematized methods of changes, that can be implemented on a day by day basis, over the course of a year that will lead to personal and community sustainability.
- The Transition Model for Sustainable Living engages its participants through information, skill-training and support, into activities that lead to sustainability, both in their homes and in their local communities. The participants create daily habits, which lead to purchasing decisions that leverage the demand in the marketplace to respond with a supply of sustainable solutions that reduce carbon emissions, mitigate climate change, and build economically strong, viable, and resilient local communities.
