Welcome to Local 20/20!

Local 20/20 is an all-volunteer, grassroots organization located in East Jefferson County, WA. Local 20/20 is dedicated to promoting self-reliance, sustainability, and resiliency at a community level, moving toward a lighter environmental footprint and a greater capacity to adapt to the challenges of climate change and economic instability. Most of what happens in Local 20/20 happens in Action Groups, each focused on a different (though interrelated) aspect of sustainability.
