This document discusses sustainability efforts in Humboldt and around the world. It highlights examples of communities that have made progress in areas like zero waste, local food abundance, alternative transportation, renewable energy, and interconnectedness. These include Kamikatsu, Japan which aims for zero waste by 2020; Arcata, which gets over 8% of its food locally; and Curitiba, Brazil where 70% of commuters use public transportation. The document advocates for Humboldt to become self-sufficient in energy by 2025 and celebrates community as the most important technology for achieving sustainability.

When a city accepts as its mandate its quality of life; when it respects the people who live in it; when it respects the environment; when it prepares for future generations, the people share responsibility for that mandate, and this shared cause is the only way to achieve that collective dream.“ -Jaime Lerner, former mayor of Curitiba

- Almost 1000 Appropedia FB fans. Some helped to find exemplary (in some sustainable aspect) communities around the world.
- Small gathering helped envision a sustainable Humboldt... Feedback is excellent and this needs to be recreated on a community-wide scale. Open Space Technology style (but wait for last slides to mention that).
