The Natural Step

Sustain Jefferson has offered free weekly Study Circles on The Natural Step for the past 3 years.  In that time hundreds of residents have met weekly to review the book The Natural Step for Communities  by Sarah James and Torbjorn Lahti.
We urge you to join a study circle in your area and explore the possibilities of truly living closer to nature. While learning about successful programs that embrace the environment, you’ll meet other like-minded members in your community.  The course lasts about 10 weeks and groups typically meet one night per week for about 2 hours. 

The result of course is an awakening of possibilities; a determination to locally promote sustainability - born out of a change in one’s individual environmental outlook.  Friendships are forged.  Policies re-written.  The  galvanization of a community into a proactive group of concerned citizens, willing to step up and be heard, is often the lasting result of this process.  But more importantly, you’ll have a chance to explore how this process has been successfully executed by reviewing details from those that have carved sustainability’s wake in Sweeden, the US, and abroad.
