What is Sostane?
Sostane (Sisters of Sustainability) provides a nurturing environment for local green women to take action in sustainable practices. Through local meetings, festival participation, member-written articles and online resources, we are inspired to take that extra step to make a difference to our community.
We are individuals, independent business owners, mothers, daughters, wives and sisters. We are concerned at the state of our planet not only for ourselves, but for our future generations. Our responsibility reaches farther than sustaining or maintaining at our current levels, but going above and beyond by giving back to the earth in a cradle-to-cradle mentality.
We are committed to the betterment of the environment, social justice, local economy and ourselves.
