== You can help ==
A wiki is a type of website that allows any visitor to add and modify content direct from their web browser. Saved pages are available to everyone else on the internet. So a wiki is a wonderful way of co-operating to build a free and universal information store and mutually supportive community.  More about wikis
You can help build this wiki, help us pool our knowledge. To begin is very easy. The more you do, the more you learn, (about editing for example). Find out more about the SCA wiki, or visit our Community Portal to see what you can do.
Build a bigger alliance! Sharing is good. The more we share, the more everyone benefits.Sign up for a (free) SCA Wiki account today!
==Why SCA?==
Why Sustainable? 
Sustainability matters. It isn't something just for experts. It's about everyone's quality of life and we all have a part to play.  More about sustainability 
Why Community? 
Personal choices and global issues matter, but so does community, the link between the two. 
In an increasingly interconnected world, community is both necessary and natural to support each other in our quest for a better quality of life, both in our own communities and in the wider world, both now and for future generations.
Why Action? 
Action, not just fine words, is needed to move us toward a more sustainable society. Although this site acts as a store of information, hopefully much of it will be geared toward action.
