Environmental rapport

There’s an organization in your community that makes it super easy to take a first step for involvement: simply start by joining the email list. Whether you take your “membership” further is up to you. The organization is going to keep you informed on activities and volunteering opportunities. There are no dues or participation requirements.

Actually, there are two organizations. One mission.

Sustainable Blacksburg and Sustainable Roanoke are all-volunteer nonprofits with a mission to enhance our region’s livability by reducing our impact on our regional environment. Here’s where you can keep informed on issues such as ecological integrity, local food systems, smart growth and mobility, social equity, waste reduction, and recycling.

A quick follow on both organizations’ Facebook pages will reveal how the “clubs” pass along news and tips where you can be more attentive and active to preserve our environment and improve sustainability. The ideas are current and relative; for example, during the holiday season, eco-friendly gift ideas were presented, such as shopping local, giving memories and experiences, upcycling and repurposing second-hand items.

The vibe here is a positive one. It just makes sense to do our part in keeping our “home” in the best shape and to our best abilities, say our friends at Sustainable Blacksburg and Roanoke.
