What sustainability means

THE ABILITY TO BE STRENGTHENED,

Upheld, or Confirmed.

For the Southwestern Communities Coalition, sustainability means building strong, meaningful relationships with the broader community, as well as using the newest technologies, the best human resources and investments to do things the right way.

SUSTAINABILITY IS

cattle ranchers in Colorado using technology such as GPS and RFI tags to better track their herds and efficiently manage grazing lands throughout the Southwest.

SUSTAINABILITY IS

regional vineyards adopting drip irrigation, process ponds as well as purchasing supplies from local vendors to more carefully use the area’s resources.

MOST IMPORTANTLY

Sustainability is stability for people –
a strong economy is necessary for thriving communities and sound stewardship.

A NEW WAY OF THINKING

Our coalition members understand sustainable communities and progress start from the ground up — not from the top down. The Southwestern Communities Coalition is committed to empowering the people in local communities to build better lives for themselves and their children.
