Sustainability
is a strategy and a discipline. It’s a way. It’s
probably not a destination, but rather a direction along a continuum.
The Iroquois
believe that "In our every deliberation, we must consider
the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations."
Given the
current pace of human consumption and development, Sustainability
represents our future as a species.
