ASF has attracted and convened hundreds of sustainability-minded advocates in the Greater Philadelphia region over our twelve years of leadership in bringing awareness and action to the community. Our efforts have focused on air, water, and food quality, energy resources and climate instability, transportation, sprawl, intermunicipal cooperation, pollution, population, over-consumption, open space, and responsible lifestyles as global citizens.
