Welcome to your Sustainable Orcas Island Community


Welcome to Sustainable Orcas Island's community wiki! The goal of this project is to create a local knowledge hub for everyone who is interested in the subject of sustainability, being green, and working together as a community to empower and combine all of our visions, and projects in one highly visible and accessible place.

SOI needs a logo. Shall we have a contest?

San Juan County Solid Waste Survey


A few months back a San Juan County Solid Waste Survey was mailed out to a sampling of households within the county, and later was available for downloading from the county website. This survey is no longer available from the website however.

If you have any questions or would like a chance to contribute input, please email the staff in the Solid Waste. Elizabeth Anderson: was coordinating the brainstorming sessions and Steve Anderson: is Director of Solid Waste
