  2. The Trust’s Goal of Sustainable Development (Source: Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future) “All of life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr. “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.”
