Working Design

To help make it easier for people and organizations to make more sustainable choices.

We believe that ...

everyone has a right to the information needed to make these more sustainable choices
that making more sustainable choices is fundamentally a learning process
choosing more sustainable ways of living is more likely to be successful when the person is connected to an encouraging community
each person's journey into a deeper understanding of sustainability is unique and they know best what's sustainable for them.
we are one of many resources people have available to them to help them make more sustainable choices.

Is to connect people and organizations to the information and people with expertise who can help them successfully make these more sustainable choices. It is not within the scope of the library to design the sustainable solution for the person or business.
