The Institute for Community Sustainability (ICS) is a federally incorporated not-for-profit. Our vision is a world where humans live in peace and harmony with each other and with nature. Our mission is to help people to live more sustainable and connected lives.
The Goals and Objectives of ICS include:
- Develop and provide programs promoting the protection and preservation of the environment through re-use, reduction, recycling and recovery of waste
- Operate a Thing Library, Repair Cafés and related programs in order to preserve household items and to keep them from disposal in a landfill
- Educate the public on the subjects of reducing waste, reusable and refillable alternatives to single-use products, supporting composting, and living more sustainably
- Support local businesses, community and culture, through placemaking initiatives, partnerships and platforms
