Text Box: Sustainability means choosing to meet today’s needs in ways that will give future generations the ability to meet their needs as well. Sustainability means developing habits of only taking what we need; reducing wastefulness; thinking of the needs of others both present and future; recognizing that all beings on earth: animals and plants, wind and water, forests and wetlands, and human persons are part of a single interconnected fabric on which we all depend for life.
