Mission Statement: The Blue Ridge Earth Alliance is an all volunteer membership organization which provides information, motivation, support and community for people who wish to Examine and Transform Personal Values and Habits to Act Responsibly for the Earth.

BREA strives to build a community of committed individuals who will actively participate in creating a healthy and sustainable world. To this end, we offer classes and self-led discussions groups in: Deep Ecology, Voluntary Simplicity and Choices for Sustainable Living. We are currently working on Bioregional Perspectives, which will focus on knowing and protecting our place. Each fall we offer a workshop on Simplifying the Holidays. We also sponsor a monthly book discussion and quaterly personal retreats.

We believe that individual actions and responsibility make the difference in creating a sustainable future for all. The health of our environment depends on the lifestyle of each of us.
