What started
out as an informational forum on sustainability at Islands and Ocean Visitors
Center last fall has become a wave of energy focused on making Homer a
better place to live, work, and play.
Sustainability hits a chord with Alaskans who are both independent
by
nature and, like here in Homer, dependant on nature.
In these
changing times it is very apparent that we need to have a positive focus on what
we can do in our own community. Sustainable Homer is dedicated to being
the resource for information and available programs that can help people
make a difference.
Sustainable Homer has been adopted
by the Homer Chamber of Commerce as a subcommittee of the Chamber’s Economic
Development Committee and we continue to grow. All around town students,
businesses, and the city government have started moving towards the goal of increasing
our awareness of our
consumption and reducing our footprint. All this activity translates into
efficiencies that help achieve the triple bottom line for economic, ecological,
and societal
benefits
Everyone
can participate.
Sustainable Homer is what YOU make it. Give us a call or e-mail us with
how you would like to join in, with questions about how you can implement more
sustainable practices, or with ideas about how Homer can grow sustainably. To

sustainability,

We look
forward to hearing from you!
