A key part of the work of the Alliance for Sustainable Communities-Lehigh Valley is to share and publicize information from organizations and businesses that promotes sustainable communities. Their annual directory supplies information to thousands about the many organizations and businesses that promote sustainability in the Lehigh Valley, and provides a view of the size and scope of the local sustainability movement. The 2015 Alliance Directory is now available at many nonprofits and businesses throughout the Lehigh Valley—a list is available on the website at SustainLV.org.

In addition, Sustainable Lehigh Valley features a “Voices of the Valley” section containing essays from diverse perspectives about the actions, projects, and concerns of those promoting sustainability here.

The Alliance has also launched the Sustainability Commons is a new workspace for individuals, organizations, and informal groups to connect, discuss, collaborate, and share on all sorts of sustainability-related topics and projects. The commons workspace allows access to multiple aspects of sustainable communities, including air quality, climate action, Committee of 100, community health, food, food-health connections, fracking, Transitions Lehigh Valley, and much more. Joining the Sustainability Commons simply means you can participate in this free workspace. You can see what the various communities are doing to promote sustainability in the Lehigh Valley area. You can become a member of one or more existing communities—or start one.
