The Co-Editors, Terril Shorb and Yvette Schnoeker-Shorb, welcome you to the Sustainabe Ways website.  This year, 2008, marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Sustainable Community Development program and its well-known Butterfly curriculum.  Communication among members of Prescott College’s Sustainable Community Development Program and the broader sustainability movement is important, as indicated in the Fourth Realm of that Butterfly Curriculum.  We like to think that the newsletter is one way to support that communication.

One of the ways we can share our findings in sustainable thought and practice is to contribute “field reports” from our respective community experiences to our newsletter, Sustainable Ways. This publication appears occasionally and includes articles, interviews with leading lights in the fields of sustainability, reflective essays, poetry, and photography that illuminate aspects of community making or strengthening through sustainable perspectives and practices.

The Spring 2007 and Summer 2005 issues are available as downloadable PDFs directly below the Autumn 2004 issue of Sustainable Ways, which is available in both HTML and PDF format. . Please choose from the links below to view the issues. If you do not already have Adobe's free Acrobat Reader, you will need to download it from their website to view the PDF file.
