Sightline is the best one-stop information source for finding out about sustainability in the Northwest. Their level of analysis and clear reporting is unparalleled. I recommend Sightline to my colleagues in the sustainability field regardless of where they live since I think Sightline is a great model of regional sustainability monitoring.

I applaud Sightline for its pioneering work on the Cascadia Scorecard. It provides a long-range view of the trends that shape our state, which offers us new perspectives and helps us make informed decisions about our future.

Flowers Sightline publications LONG

andrewb — 2006-03-16T23:35:46Z

In my work on land use and growth-related issues in my county, I often turn to Sightline's publications for ways to take complex issues and frame them for the general public. Information is power, but information is easy to drown in or not ever have time to learn to swim through it in today's fast-paced world. Sightline's publications hook me with stories that can be shared neighbor to neighbor. They give me hope and a more articulate voice in a complex world.

During a hard-fought campaign against well-funded opponents, Sightline Institute's well-documented, independent research, joined with their cogent, accessible analysis, gave us the persuasive punch we needed to effectively communicate with the public and opinion makers.

Orians Cascadia Scorecard, children LONG

andrewb — 2006-08-02T23:36:20Z

In a world of information overload, the Cascadia Scorecard provides a much-needed focus on the big picture. Sightline has sifted through hundreds of possibilities and identified seven indicators that capture fundamentally important components of the environment of the Northwest. If we pay attention to trends in these indicators, and respond appropriately, we should pass on to our children a better environment and the higher quality of life made possible by it.
