Who we are
We are residents of the Bainbridge Island and Camano Island communities who are concerned for the planet and engaging in grass-roots organizing to make a difference.
We are artists, writers, scientists, economists, visionaries, professors, and former peace corp members.
It is our mission to refrain from thinking of what we should be doing, and move into action – both in thoughts and deeds – to make our planet and humanity a better place.
We hope you will join us on this endeavor.
