This is the place to come to learn about what it takes to make a community truly sustainable. Join us as we transform the City of Fort Collins into the most sustainable small city in the United States. Of course, we'll need your help and ideas on how we can best accomplish this. 

First things first is FOOD. We all need healthy food to nourish our bodies and souls. Our first project, rightly named, Citizen Planters, launches in spring 2013, with a goal of raising 1,000,000 pounds of food to supply to the Larimer County Food Bank. 

Citizens will have ample opportunities to contribute to this aspiring goal by container gardening, planting an extra row in their existing gardens, donating their garden ready yards, and so much more. Learn more about how you can help us feed those in need with organic, healthy produce this growing season.]]>
