What should we do?

To build a more sustainable society, we need to foster consensus on goals and think strategically about the best ways to make progress. You can help by joining the GreenCityBlueLake discussion groups that are developing action agendas for building, energy, food, transportation, and the other areas of sustainability. The discussions take place on "wiki" pages to allow group editing and conversations.
