What is Sustainability?
“Sustainability” means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable activities are simultaneously good for people, the planet and profits – the “triple bottom line”.
Examples include:
- Spending/investing locally - locally owned businesses vs. chains
- Walking, biking, mass transit vs. individual transport vehicle
- Supporting locally grown food
- Developing & sustaining integrated land-use patterns that strengthen bonds among and between residents, businesses and organizations.
Our History
Sustainable Worthington was inspired by the October 2006 Simply Living conference "Do It Here! Do It Now!" Our first meeting was held on November 29, 2006.
Sustainable Worthington gratefully acknowledges ongoing inspiration and help from Simply Living (www.simplyliving.org). Simply Living's vision is to create a compassionate and sustainable world through personal, community and cultural transformation.
