Sustainability

 What kind of a world are we leaving future generations?
 As we are faced with unprecedented challenges locally and globally, many individuals, organizations, and communities are embracing the path of sustainability to transform these challenges into opportunities. Sustainability is a systems approach to living, doing business and developing communities that addresses ecological balance, social justice and economic viability.

 The Natural World is a storehouse of 3.8 billion years wisdom that we can learn from and apply to creating lives, organizations & communities that thrive.
 Sustainability calls us to see the forest and the trees – to recognize our place in the interconnected web of life and to make choices and take actions that reflect that understanding, to consider the health of the whole - the ecosystems and human communities that we are a part of.

While sustainability is generally considered a 3 legged stool, ReSourcing has added another component to the sustainability equation- ethics- so the triple bottom line is now quadruple – the 4 ‘e’s or the 4 ‘p’s as illustrated in the diagram below.

The 4 Pillars of Sustainability:

Sustainability is

“living and working in harmony with other humans and the rest of the natural world wherein meeting our needs enhances the capacity of future generations to meet theirs.”
