The Evergreen Sustainability Alliance began with a group of Evergreen friends and neighbors gathered around a kitchen table discussing the need for more recycling and composting opportunities in the community. This community effort resulted in the formation of our 501c3 nonprofit organization in 2010, then known as the Evergreen Alliance for Sustainability (EAS+Y).

The core values everybody shared included a concern for living responsibly and respectfully in our environment and a belief that it is our responsibility to “tread lightly” on earth by reducing our carbon footprints, so that others now and in the future may live well too.
