CSV Bellingham is intended to create a model of a resilient and sustainable community, founded in our commitment to respond and adapt to the urgent challenges of the climate crisis and its economic impact.

Unsustainable status-quo ways of living are isolating, and harmful to both people and the planet. To address these major challenges today, the solution is community.

The Urban or Stay Where you Are Model encourages the creation of resilient communities by using the existing locations and resources, preparing for future climate challenges, and fostering collaboration and support among members.

Our members and volunteers are forming local groups in more areas. Wherever you are or want to be, you can join our Virtual Community to discuss climate change preparation with others, and find or start a local community effort. See a list of communities being formed now, and take the next step to join us on our forum. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
