Network for Sustainable Solutions

Our Vision

Accelerating sustainability through connection.

Network for Sustainable Solutions is a 501(c)(3) non-profit creating an action-driven network, focused on the sustainability of Tennessee. We bring organizations, businesses, government, community groups, and people together to form a unified network. We believe that there’s already enough talent, knowledge, and capacity to make great things happen. We’re just interested in pulling the pieces (and people) together to promote sustainable action within Tennessee.

We’ve done the groundwork of pounding the pavement, pulling people and their information together in order to share it broadly and widely. We’re not an app, collecting reviews. We’re knocking on doors and digging through websites to pull together who ALL is out there. It’s hard to keep up, even for folks well-established in the community. Our directory facilitates connections across all ages, neighborhoods, sectors of the local economy, and aspects or applications of sustainability principles. This is the base of the network: Knowing who’s out there, what kind of work they do, and how to connect. Access the Directory.

Network for Sustainable Solutions is about creating the Tennessee that we all want to live in: one that’s healthy, strong, equitable, where human and natural systems are aligned and economic growth is fueled by the system’s own abundance. This richness starts with sustainable work that is available right now. NSS features a job board that can be posted to by organizations and businesses featured within our directory. We work together to align folks with common goals. Access the Job Board.

NSS also houses a community events calendar, with events from folks featured within our directory. This is another way to get involved, support local efforts, and understand sustainability through a more diverse lens. Access Community Events.

We’re doing this together, and we want you to be a part of it!
