Blue Zones Project Blueprint
In early 2024, sector committees—comprised of community members focused on each of the sector areas of schools, worksites, community policy, restaurants & grocery stores, faith-based organizations, and individual engagement—came together to create an implementation plan for achieving the strategies outlined in this Blueprint.
To become a Blue Zones Community®, Petaluma will implement well-being improvement strategies in twelve pillar areas focused on people, places, and policy. Achieving these targets will allow the community to move the needle forward so that positive environmental changes become ingrained in the community and the healthy choice becomes the easy choice for all residents
Values
Values provide a compass that guide our vision, mission, and form strong community connections. Values inform how we do our work, how we are in relationship with each other, and how we navigate challenges and uncertainties that may arise. Blue Zones Project Petaluma upholds the following values:
- Humility: Listen and learn from everyone’s unique history with respect for what has come before.
- Collaboration: Acknowledge our interdependence, share knowledge, and identify common goals.
- Solidarity: Build strong relationships on a foundation of trust, respect, and mutual support that fosters belonging.
- Empowerment: Center individuals and organizations to lead and advocate for their own well-being.
- Sustainability: Create long-lasting impact by aligning with the good work already happening in the local community to produce measurable outcomes.
- Inclusivity: Engage everyone with fairness and respect, regardless of their income, education, ethnic background, race, gender identity, culture, age, sexual orientation, abilities, faith, or any other characteristics.
