What is Sustainability?

Sustainability is using resources to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs and resources for future generations. 
We view sustainability through three major pillars: economic, social, and environmental. The decisions of today make a positive impact on all of these pillars. 
We focus our work on sustainability around these six areas: Land, Water, Community, Energy, Transportation, and Waste.
