Mission

Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We envision a sustainable Capitol Hill as a neighborhood with vibrant natural, social, economic, and built environments: Natural – We envision carbon neutrality, clean air, clean water, and a healthy habitat in balance with the dense urban environment. Social – We envision dynamic connections within the neighborhood that create a fun place to live with a strong identity and a sense of stewardship for the greater community. Economic – We envision a robust and equitable local economy with a strong focus on local products and produce. Built – We envision green and livable buildings, a lively pedestrian-oriented streetscape, and a variety of clean and reliable transportation options. Through education, organization, and action, we can make our neighborhood a model for a sustainable future.
