KLAMATH SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

We are a group of people working for a healthy future in the Klamath Basin through education and community activities.
Our primary interests are community well-being, environmental stewardship, and economic prosperity.

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
-- John 8:32, in the King James Bible.

Our middle name is "Sustainable". What's that mean?

"If you make a decision and wonder how it will affect your children, then you are thinking sustainably."
Founder, Klamath Sustainable Communities

Take a look at this video:

Our brochure has some good words on the subject.

As one of its main thrusts, KSC is working to implement the Klamath 2020 Vision statement, which our members helped to develop. This statement contains a "Vision for Sustainability", which is a kind of working definition of sustainability.

This document also contains several sections that describe our vision for living more sustainably in the Klamath Basin. These include:

Agricultural issues
Energy issues (embedded in some of the other areas)
Natural resources and the environment
Sustainable or "Green" building
Economics
Transportation
Urban water issues
Solid waste issues

We used pancakes to teach some food science.

The Local Food Network...

...was very active in 2011:

Our new child-friendly Community Garden in the Mills Addition grew its first food last summer.
We have plans to work on extending the local food-growing season (which we all agree is too short!).
KSC and collaborators completed and published the Klamath County Local Food Guide in the summer of 2011. The Guide features information on eating locally, with listings of local food producers and vendors. For more information, please check out this page.
