Three Pillars of Sustainability

Sustainable communities value the importance of economic, environmental, and community social needs equally.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans it is the potential for long-term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resoures.
