About Our Organization

As a word that is used so often today, sustainability has many definitions, but simply put, sustainability means 'enough for all, forever'.  That definition sends a striking message about why sustainability is so essential that we all be aware of it, but we need a more thorough explanation to evaluate our effort. 

It seems like every day we read headlines about economic crunches, environmental pressures, and social challenges. We read that it is economy versus environment, not economy and environment. We want to believe that we have a future, despite these headlines - a bright future. We can, but we have to understand the part we play. This understanding, this literacy, is what we want to pass on to students, to empower them as leaders to reach that bright future.

We want to show students that the choices they make have a lasting impact on our world. Understanding that the environmental, economic, and social well being of our planet are tied together through the choices our society makes every day is the first step to move forward.
