Sustainability For Duluth

Sustainability Is:

the ability to provide resources for current and future generations while maintaining or restoring reservoirs of social, economic and environmental capital. 

SUSTAINABILITY is STRONG when it promotes natural resources and ecological conservation. 

Man-made commodities cannot substitute for depleted natural resources. 

Human need is at the center of concern for economic growth. 

Everyone in the community should be able to participate in planning and decision making process. 

Special care should be taken to include all groups of people: minority, youth, seniors, etc. 

Sustainable development meets the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. 

Community sustainability is achieved when informed groups of  people pursue environmental stewardship, civic democracy, economic security, and social justice.   

GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF
