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."
