关于我们
Sustainability is commonly framed through a lens of scarcity and fear of the future, but the Sustainability Institute takes a different approach. We believe that embracing sustainability leads to an abundance of well-being, clean air and water, nutritious food, decent jobs, and biodiversity, pointing us toward a more vibrant future for our communities. At the Sustainability Institute, we help the Driftless region create a positive vision of what could be by celebrating regional sustainability efforts and connecting individuals to them and each other. Founded in 2012 and formally a 501(c)3 in 2015, the Sustainability Institute has been serving the La Crosse and surrounding counties with a variety of programming and events in hopes to help inspire our community to work together towards a positive vision of sustainability and resilience.
