Sustainability Definitions

"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Brundtland Report

"Think of it as extending the Golden Rule through time. Do unto future generations as you would have them do unto you."
Robert Gilman

"A sustainable society is one that lives within the self-perpetuating limits of its environment. That society is not a "no growth" society - it is, rather, a society that recognizes the limits of growth and looks for alternative ways of growing."
James Connor
