We believe that a strong local food system contributes to the health of our entire community, and we will work to facilitate greater understanding of the social, economic, and environmental impacts of our food choices.

We support small family farms, urban farming projects, community vegetable gardens, and backyard food production. We believe in promoting a healthier society through education about and appreciation of local, fresh, sustainably raised produce and products.

We see the growth of community vegetable gardens as an effective strategy to make healthy organic produce accessible to low income families, ensuring that all members of our community have access to fresh local foods.

We promote energy conservation and the integration of renewable, sustainable energy into local communities through advising local organizations and individuals, demanding better energy policies, and participating in local energy projects.

We support the promotion of sustainable eco-friendly transportation, including biking, walking, and the development of accessible, reliable, and affordable public transportation.

We envision a region where people can coexist and prosper in harmony with their environment. To this end, we promote the preservation and restoration of the natural environment.
