Our Vision:  Sitka: Resilient, Thriving, Carbon Free!  Our Mission: To foster greater energy efficiency and self-reliance, to reduce waste and end dependence on fossil fuels. Our initial goals: reduce our dependence on fossil fuels through electrification and other clean energy sources, and increase local food security. Our guiding principle: incorporate new volunteers and work with existing organizations with compatible goals. To that end we welcome YOUR vision and ideas!
