Sustainability- "Meeting our own needs of the present, without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,
particularly with regard to use and waste of natural resources.
Sustainable practices support ecological, human, and economic health
and vitality. Sustainability presumes that resources are finite, and
should be used conservatively and wisely with a view to long-term
priorities and consequences of the ways in which resources are used."
