Sustainable Indiana is a a non-profit organization chartered in the State of Indiana. Our purpose is to promote environmental awareness and sustainability, and provide an environment in which other individuals and groups who are working toward these goals can get together and share information and resources. All projects of the organization will be conducted transparently, so that others who are interested in implementing similar projects in their own community will be able to "clone" these projects locally.
As the Garden enters its 4th year, there is definite evidence of it becoming a popular community fixture!
Last year’s successes – first-ever full garden, a fun vegetable workshop with tomato guru Mel Kelly, regular surplus donations to food pantries, and a $1000 MCCF 20th Anniversary grant to help buy new tools.
Wow!
Coming Soon - The rules and application for 2012 have been revised to meet the demands of increased participation and are now available on the website! Click here to download and print.
Sustainable Indiana is pleased to be working on a new Local Food Guide for Montgomery County consumers. Some of you may remember the terrific poster that was published in 2010. SI is working with the same folks who developed that project along with some new faces – all very passionate about helping area citizens discover the abundance of delicious, healthy food - ALL PRODUCED LOCALLY!!!
Be watching our Directory/Food Guide page for new info!
Do you have used clothing or bedding that you think is too shabby to donate? Don’t throw it away! Local resale shops like Goodwill & Trinity Mission separate these items and sell them by the pound to textile businesses that shred the material for commercial use. Just bag that stuff up, take it to the store and tell them it’s for recycling – not resale. This bulky, post-consumer material is kept OUT of the landfill and RE-USED to make products. All at a fraction of the petroleum price it would take to make brand-new!
