KSC is working to implement the "Klamath 2020 Vision" document, which our members helped to develop. This document contains a "Vision for Sustainability", which is a kind of working definition of it.

• Energy (compiled from other areas)
• 'Green' building
• Natural resources and the environment
• Solid waste
• Transportation
• Urban water
