Olympia is one of the most progressive towns in the Pacific Northwest. Unique solutions to the daunting environmental and social challenges we face have emerged within numerous areas of the community. However, many citizens are not aware of the various innovations and strategies available for creating and supporting a truly sustainable Olympia.

To help facilitate the process of forging connections between people and organizations that are dedicated to working towards a more resilient and humane community, students from WashPIRG and the Environmental Resource Center are bringing together local leaders from a diverse array of fields, including faith and social justice, green building, progressive education, environmental clean-up, small business, and alternative transportation for our Panel for a Sustainable Community.
