Final thoughts….
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is about
remaking the human
presence in the natural
world in a manner that
will allow all current and
future humans to be
healthy; have strong,
vibrant, secure and
thriving communities and
nations; have economic
opportunity for all; and
restore and maintain the
integrity of our life-
support system – the
biosphere.
