Sustainability
Sustainable development explicitly recognizes the interconnections and relationships between economy, society and the environment.
Environmentally
Sound:
Decision-making focuses on
reducing the impacts on
natural resources and the environment by providing toxic free goods and
services, policies that reduce carbon emissions and exposure to
hazardous chemicals.
Incorporates innovative practices in land use
related to
agriculture, brownfields, toxic clean up facilities and water
conservation. Provides architectural and planning practices
that
serve to offset environmental impacts rather than support
them.
Economically
Productive:
Community members make local
capital investments
that will sustain local human and natural resources and yield adequate
financial returns to those investments. Provide
educational opportunities for career
growth and personal development focused on sustainable outcomes.
Socially Just: Equitable access to resources and decision-making processes foster family care centers, cultural acceptance, education and the cultivation of peaceful actions. Promote individual decision making and spirit of community.
