Sustainability is....

 

"meeting the needs of the current generation in a way that do not compromise future generations' ability to meet their needs." - compliments of Molly Crawford, Enviro Ed grad student

 

"thinking ahead. using resources in a way that there are still some around for our kids. thinking past convenience. being concerned." --Paula Suda, L.A. student

 

"is humans surviving indefinitely into the future. It can only be attained through the maintenance of viable economic, social, and environmental systems that provide outcomes necessary for human survival and the energy and other resources necessary for the functioning of the systems." - John Vann, BSU Green Initiatives Coordinator

 

" using natural resources now at a rate such that they will still be around for future generations. It means using and renewing natural resources." - Dr. Amy Gregg, NREM professor

 

" is the attempt to live with an ever-deepening awareness of the connectedness of all things. With relationality at the center of reality, we offer ourselves to the process of the restoration of right relationships, and this I would call "justice." Practically, this means that we live gently in this world, and sustainability is the fruit of such living." - Mike Williams, Wesley Foundation
