Welcome to the Sustainable St. Louis website!  This site will include the latest news on sustainability oriented initiatives, events, and achievements from St. Louis area companies, nonprofit organizations, local governments, and communities. This will be your connection to the many things that are moving our region in a greener direction. Our site will be the source of the latest new from our organization as we move forward in our mission to help advance a coordinated approach to increased sustainability in our region.

They say that, in this day and time, you don’t really exist unless you have a website. Well Sustainable St. Louis (SSL herein) is thrilled that we are “for real” now that we have a web presence. Along with the site came our new logo – we hope you like it.

The logo and the site are meant to communicate a lot about what our organization is shaping up to be. The logo may strike you as more “corporate” and less “enviro” , and this is intentional. The leadership of SSL wanted our logo to represent a core belief underlying what we are doing – that our organization is part of a new era of cooperation between businesses, nonprofits, and communities; an era in which environmental responsibility is not a “cause”, but a “matter of fact” goal for all. And it is only through bringing together the varied talents and resources of all that we can have the kind of impact that has become a necessity.

We have big aspirations with this site. What you see here now is only “Phase 1”. Our goal is for this site to become a major resource to all those with an interest in sustainability. The goals of the site are to –

• Inform – provide regularly updated blog entries that highlight the great things taking place or in the works in our region that relate to sustainability goals.
• Connect – Create links to the many businesses, community groups, advocacy groups, etc that are doing the work. Create social networks for sharing information, person to person, business to business, and group to group. The more we are connected, the faster the pace of change.
• Educate – Learn about how to live greener, operate a more environmentally sustainable business, green your community, etc. This component of the site will grow more in Phase 2.
• Learn about SSL – Provide information for those interested in finding out more about what our organization is doing or how to get involved. This site will also be growing with Phase 2, as we begin to put into action the Strategic Plan for the organization.

We hope you will take some time to explore the site and sign up for the enewsletters and the tweets. Please check back regularly for all the latest news on sustainability in the St. Louis region and for the latest on SSL.  We welcome any feedback or comments you may have on our we can improve the site.  Please reach out to us at info@sustainstl.org.
