Sustainable Community Stewards

 

 

    (formerly Carbon Masters)

    

 

We are a group of 40+ community members dedicated to creating a more sustainable Snohomish County. Our volunteers are given 40 hours of unvierstiy level training. Topics range from energy, food, soil, climate, water biodiversity, solid waste, and economics. The Sustainable Community Stewards also participated in field trips to sites such as: 21 Acres Farm, Cedar Grove, The North Everett Rain Garden Tour, Going Green on the Beach, and the Mukilteo City Hall. In return they are in the process of volunteering 40 hours of service in the community.

 

Mission Statement:
