Sustainable Communities

What are sustainable communities? They are communities that recognize their interdependence with the global community and seek to meet current economic, environmental, and social demands through equitable and democratic means without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

"Choices for a Vital Community: Which way do we go?"   The League of Women Voters of California has published a guide to help people engage in discussion about the quality of life in California. Available here in PDF format is the 28-page booklet (511K) and the two-page summary of choices (143K).

We have an action policy adopted by the League of Women Voters of California convention in 1999. A Sustainability Toolkit has been developed to assist Leagues with planning and action.
