There are now 16 eco-municipalities in the state of Wisconsin (Manitowoc was number 10) that have adopted the Natural Step framework (organized by scientists in 1989). This is the most number of eco-municipalities in a state in the nation...so Wisconsin is on the vanguard of going green!! Kudos to all.
An eco-municipality becomes the driving force for involving citizens and sectors of the community in the process of becoming a sustainable community. An eco-municipality collaborates with other communities regionally, nationally and internationally.
Sustainability is more about competence (precise, concrete priniciples and philosophies) than values.
Why The Natural Step (TNS)? We cannot arrive at sustainability without knowing what it is, and we will all go down the gurgler in unsustainability. TNS principles cover ALL scenarios and looks at the big picture. It is also continually refined. The TNS framework can help us sort through complexity and data by revealing patterns and relationships, so we can make sense of all the information. The TNS study circles provide a forum for creating a shared language and understanding of sustainability in our community. The result is a foundation for agreement.
Be relatively less a part of the problem. Everyone can contribute to sustainability regardless of others. Be proactive and innovative.
