Green Idea: Sustainability

Submitted by ThinkGreen on Thu, 2008-07-17 12:11.

As climate change and energy issues begin to take center stage across world politics and policy, the idea of sustainability is constantly brought up and used to describe various policies and initiatives. The World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) eloquently defines sustainable as:

"Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs."

The Think Green Sustainability Fair hopes to use this idea to begin the discussion of sustainability in our community.

The Think Green Fair, in conjunction with the Rochester Women's Fall expo, will take place on Saturday, October 18, at the Mayo Civic Center from 9 am to 5 pm. Check out the website for information on some of the impactful speakers lined up for the event.
