Sustainability Definitions<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The ability to maintain or support a process over time.”<\/p>\n

“Think of it as extending the Golden Rule through time. Do unto future generations as you would have them do unto you.”
\nRobert Gilman<\/p>\n

“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
\nBrundtland Report<\/p>\n

“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.”
\nJames Connor<\/p>\n

“In ecology, sustainability is how biological systems endure and remain diverse and productive. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has ecological, economic, political and cultural dimensions. Sustainability requires the reconciliation of these environmental, social equity and economic demands – also referred to as the “three pillars” of sustainability or the 3 Es.”
