What is Sustainability? Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs -United Nations World Commission of Development and Environment, 1987
Triple Bottom Line + + Environment Economy Society
In a sustainable society, nature is not subject to systematicallyincreasing... ...concentrations of substances extractedfrom the Earth’scrust, ...concentrations of substances produced by society, ...degradation by physical means, and, in that society... ...people are not subject to conditions that systematically undermine their capacity to meet their needs.
By declaring June as Green Michiana Month the Mayors are presented with the opportunity to: • demonstrate their community’s progressive and forward thinking approach to sustainability • combine forces with other communities to bring awareness of the positive energy generated when people unite for a common cause • highlight their commitment to sustainable living with a community conscious audience • have their community included in limited press and promotions at no cost.
