What is Sustainability?
Sustainability is:
developing habits of
taking only what we need;
reducing waste and toxins;
thinking of others
present and future;
recognizing that
all beings on earth:
animals and plants,
wind and water,
forests and wetlands,
as well as all humans
belong to a single
interconnected web
on which we
all depend for life
Sustainability is:
choosing to meet
today’s needs
in ways that will give
future generations
the ability
to meet their needs
as well or better
Sustainability is:
a community
working together toward
environmental responsibility, economic vitality,
social cohesiveness,
and spiritual vibrancy
for the sake of those
who will come after them
