(These next two sections on data and who is working on sustainability
should be modified depending on the interests of the audience. The
facilitator should emphasize those that are most relevant to the
participants.)
Data for indicators can be found in a wide variety of places, including local
government agencies, state government agencies, academic institutions, large
government databases, and reports at your local library. In most cases, the
more local the source of data, the more relevant it will be to your community.
Finding data sources is a matter of talking to a wide variety of
people. If you have succeeded in having a diverse
cross section of the community represented in your project, locating
data sources will be easier because of the expertise of the people
working on the project. Everyone will know at least one potential
source of information; some people will know many.
Some specific ideas for data sources can be found on the
Data Sources page
of Maureen Hart's Indicators of Sustainability web site.
