Paths to a Sustainable Future is dedicated to increasing self-reliance in the Greater Milwaukee region to address the global challenges of climate change and the decline of fossil fuels. We strive to increase public awareness, facilitate the relocalization of food and energy production, and develop community strategies for energy descent.
