Part 2
Take your information from Part 1 and use it to create a Sustainability Plan.
Your sustainability plan should present what, when, and how something is to be sustained and
maintained now and into the indefinite future. Your plan can be submitted in a narrative or table
format. The Corporation for National and Community Service (n.d.) provides the following list of
components that make up a sustainability plan that should be included in your paper or table:
1. Action items: Provide the items or activities that need to be addressed or that need to occur.
Refer to the following example:
My plan for sustaining clean air in my community is to develop an education program
about air pollution-generating activities and their effects, schedule a presentation day and
time, invite community participants, and research the effects of air pollution.
2. Order of action items: Discuss how the action items in Step 1 will align or occur. One event
or activity should occur before another; thus, order the items into steps similar to the
following:
1)
2)
3)
4)

Research the effects of air pollution.


Develop an education program.
Schedule a presentation day and time.
Invite the community.

3. Action steps: Explain how you are going to conduct the action items. How are you going to
make each item or activity happen? Include individuals or groups who will help you conduct
these activities. Use the following as a guide:

indicate that it is ongoing.
