2. Sustainability • Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Brundtland Report) • Leave the world better than you found it, take no more than you need, try not to harm life or the environment, make amends if you do. (Paul Hawken) • A sustainable society is one that lives within the self-perpetuating limits of its environment. That society is not a "no growth" society - it is, rather a society that recognizes the limits of growth and looks for alternative ways of growing. (James Coomer)
