The Sustainability in Prisons Project is a community of ideas as well as people. Our mission includes serving as a model for other prisons, educational and conservation organizations and residential institutions such as military bases, assisted living centers, and summer camps. We also serve as a clearinghouse for anyone—including current and formerly incarcerated people—interested in science, sustainability, green-collar jobs, and training opportunities. Please help us develop our resource library by sending professional research, reports, articles, programs, and other items to spp@evergreen.edu.
