Grassroots Sustainability
A Guide to Organizing a Thriving Community
by Lisa Chipkin and Pam
Hartwell-Herrero
Grassroots
Sustainability was
inspired by the real-life efforts of a handful of grassroots groups in Marin
County, California that successfully brought sustainability policy and
education to their communities. This guidebook documents their best practices
and shares important lessons learned along the way. It is intended to empower
individuals and grassroots groups near and far to facilitate meaningful change
in their communities from the ground up, without having to reinvent the wheel.

In June of 2011 we minted 5,000 tokens and had a very successful launch during the Fairfax Festival.
