The Community Partners for Sustainability in Lake County seeks to promote environmental resilience, social responsibility, and economic vitality.
Given our common need for finite natural resources, sustainability is the practice of seeking to thrive in a way that does not diminish future generations’ ability to flourish.
Representatives from business, non-profits, education, local government, and the community seek to accelerate sustainability initiatives across Lake County through education, the sharing of best practices, undertaking collaborative efforts, fostering civic engagement, disseminating information, and celebrating successes.

Each year in the first week of March, the One Earth Film Festival runs across the Chicagoland area.
