Vision, Mission and Goals

Our Vision

For the community: Corvallis is a community in which the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is a flourishing and thriving city with a vibrant economy that respects, restores, and cares for the community of life.

For our organization: The Corvallis Sustainability Coalition provides grassroots leadership, inspiration, resources, opportunities for collaboration, and innovative solutions to help Corvallis and Benton County become more sustainable.

Our Mission

To promote an ecologically, socially, and economically healthy city and county.

We will achieve our mission using a democratic, highly participative decision-making process and the following Sustainability Guiding Objectives.

Our community will:

  1. Reduce and ultimately eliminate our contribution to fossil fuel dependence and to wasteful use of scarce metals and minerals. Use renewable resources whenever possible.
  2. Reduce and ultimately eliminate our contribution to dependence on persistent chemicals and wasteful use of synthetic substances. Use biologically safe products whenever possible.
  3. Reduce and ultimately eliminate our contribution to encroachment upon nature (e.g., land, water, wildlife, forests, soil, ecosystems). Protect natural ecosystems.
  4. Support people’s capacity to meet their basic needs fairly and efficiently.
