About Us

WHAT IS sustainability? The US Environmental Protection Agency defines sustainability as the intention "to create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations."  Simply put, this means using our community's resources thoughtfully in the present to account for the future.
