One Island is based on Whidbey Island and we are working to facilitate a Northwest collaborative of Green Living implementers to help identify and support current efforts and future intentions that bring sustainable rural living options into our communities, organizations, and businesses.

Let the Conversation Begin ! During September and October, 2009, One Island convened the first Whidbey Island community conversation about this project’s collaborative cross-connection potential. In 2010, One Island is now expanding to serve all of the Washington archipelago by hosting gatherings and sharing information about current green practices and longer term goals for adopting green living resources through out the Salish Sea Islands. Orcas and Lopez Islands have joind the inter-island conversation as a result of One Island meetings held in December 2009 and January 2010.

News from these gatherings and conversations is accessible through the right side bar under Community Conversations.
