The purpose of Sustainable Ballard is to help us prepare ourselves and our community to sustain and thrive in a post-peak-oil future, by supporting and inspiring each other to build a healthy and joyful life that is environmentally, socially and personally sustainable. To achieve this resiliency, we believe some key ingredients are: Getting connected with our neighbors to strengthen the social fabric of the community; learning new skills; getting educated on sustainability related matters; building a local food supply and a local economy, and sharing resources. The Ballard Tool Library is a brilliant example of fulfilling that purpose!

Currently, Sustainable Ballard is looking for community support as it applies to a grant that will allow us to get the Ballard Tool Library into operation. The Ballard Tool Library will promote mutual reliance, environmental stewardship, and the sharing of tools and know-how within the community via...
     • Leading DIY workshops on repair, gardening, crafts, and art
     • Lending gardening, shop, woodworking, crafting, boating and hobby tools to community members to use with their at-home projects
     • Providing a workspace for personal or group projects that need a home
