As this year comes to a close, one truth stands out: It Starts Right Here. Real environmental solutions aren’t found only in national policies or global summits—they’re built through the everyday choices of people who believe their community can be part of the solution.

And in 2025, Stillwater proved just how powerful those choices can be. Together, we lifted up local green businesses, maintained the natural places we love, expanded access to clean energy and sustainable transportation, and inspired young people who will carry this work forward.

Now, as we step into a new year, we invite you to take the next meaningful step with us by joining the Clean Energy Challenge. It’s a simple yet transformative way to make an individual difference that adds up to collective impact. The Challenge guides your daily choices—everything from wasting less, to improving home energy efficiency, to embracing cleaner transportation. Sign up today: https://www.ssmn-cec.org/

As we prepare to deepen our impact in 2026, your support is essential. If you’re able, please consider making a year-end gift to Sustainable Stillwater MN. Any contribution—whether $10, $100, or $1,000—helps fuel the programs, partnerships, and leadership that build a stronger, healthier, more resilient Stillwater.

There is so much to be hopeful for, and so much we can achieve together. Thank you for believing in this community, this work, and our shared vision for a sustainable future.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Andi Arnold

Executive Director, Sustainable Stillwater MN
