Paths to a Sustainable Future is a grassroots organization dedicated to increasing self-reliance in the Greater Milwaukee region to address the impending global crises of climate change and the decline of fossil fuels. We strive to increase public awareness, advocate for progressive government policies, facilitate the re-establishment of lost skills, and develop community strategies for energy descent.

We began meeting in February 2007 at the Urban Ecology Center in Milwaukee. Since then, we have sponsored film screenings, book discussions, speakers, home and garden tours, and potlucks, and covered topics ranging from peak oil to permaculture to intentional communities.

Currently we are planning a campaign to increase local self-reliance, known as Live Local Milwaukee.

We joined the Relocalization Network in November 2007.
