Sustainability…
…is to meet the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations
to meet their own needs.
( Bruntwood Report )
All sustainability means is to leave the world better than
we found it.
( Paul Hawken )
If we have a passion and fascination for the Diversity of Life on
our planet we will feel motivated to look after it.
( David Attenborough )
We need to preserve the natural systems on which we depend:
Air, Water, Soil, Biodiversity, Climate and what they provide:
Rain, pollination, regulate temperature, fertile soil
and purify Air and Water.
