MISSION

To inspire and mobilize a collaborative movement towards an equitable and environmentally sustainable St. Louis region – every day.

VISION

We envision a resilient, interconnected, and thriving human and natural environment for all generations.

VALUES

Equity
We seek to identify, understand, and address the most pressing environmental justice issues facing all parts of the St. Louis region, and to work towards a future in which environmental and health outcomes are not tied to race and income.

Education
We believe environmental education and youth activism are essential to a sustainable future.

Action
We aspire to be a leader in fostering a broad-based environmental movement that identifies the underlying causes of current environmental problems, and develops and implements effective solutions.

Collaboration
We maximize impact by forming strategic alliances and collaborating with a powerful network of mission-aligned organizations, government agencies, and companies throughout the region to achieve common goals.

Celebration
In full awareness of the seriousness of the issues we face, we celebrate progress, resilience, achievement, and our shared values as an environmental community. We are willing to meet those open to change “where they are” in order to encourage movement in a positive direction.
