About Sustainable Martin

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit community organization founded in May 2000.

Our Mission:

To enhance the long-term natural, built, economic and social well being of our entire community.

Our Vision: 

A healthy sustainable Martin County where all the parts of our community - natural, built, economic and social are understood and valued by citizens.

Goals/Objectives:

• To serve as a neutral and credible resource for information on issues, activities and events taking place in Martin County that affect the sustainability of our community. 
• To educate Martin County citizens so they are more informed decision makers and understand the important balance needed to achieve a healthy, sustainable community.
• To create and improve opportunities for citizen empowerment, involvement and collaboration.

Welcome to Sustainable Martin!

We are excited about the opportunity to be a resource for information about Martin County using a sustainability framework. 

But what exactly is sustainability? Such a commonly used word means different things to different people. 

We think about sustainability and sustainable communities in relationship to four interconnected and interdependent systems – the natural environment, the man-made environment, the economy and the social aspects of a community.

“MARTIN COUNTY 101: IT’S DIFFERENT HERE”

Did you just move here or have you lived or worked in Martin County for decades? Either way, how much do you really know about Martin County?

Everyone needs a “sense of place” and most of us are from somewhere else, even if that somewhere else is in Florida.

Join us for an interactive and exciting educational program for new and current residents that explores Martin County through its history, natural and manmade environments, economy and social elements. The program curriculum is based on the principle that all the parts of a community are interrelated and interdependent.  Presentations are made by volunteer speakers who provide the information in a “judgment-neutral” manner.
