At the 1992 United Nations-sponsored Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainable development was discussed in the context of a 1987 report entitled Our Common Future , which defined sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." However, challenges remain in understanding how this definition could be helpful in evaluating policy choices or business decisions, since avoiding impeding the "ability of future generations to meet their own needs" requires predicting both their needs and their abilities. More recently, industrial ecology has been referred to as the "science of sustainability", although industrial ecology itself is still emerging as a single recognizable construct.

Sustainability From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search The Earth Day flag includes a NASA photo Sustainability is a characteristic of a process or state that can be maintained at a certain level indefinitely. The term, in its environmental usage, refers to the potential longevity of vital human ecological support systems, such as the planet's climatic system , systems of agriculture industry forestry , and fisheries , and human communities in general and the various systems on which they depend in balance with the impacts of our unsustainable or sustainable design In recent years an academic and public discourse has led to this use of the word sustainability in reference to how long human ecological systems can be expected to be usefully productive. In the past, complex human societies have died out, sometimes as a result of their own growth-associated impacts on ecological support systems. The implication is that modern industrial society, which continues to grow in scale and complexity, will also collapse The implied preference would be for systems to be productive indefinitely, or be "sustainable." For instance, "

45. Sustainable Measures - What Is Sustainability, Anyway? sustainable development, sustainable community, sustainable industry, sustainable sustainability is related to the quality of life in a community http://www.sustainablemeasures.com/Sustainability/index.html

Sustainable development, sustainable community, sustainable industry, sustainable agriculture. You may have heard these words used in many different ways, but what does "sustainability" really mean and how can you tell if your community is sustainable? Sustainability is related to the quality of life in a community whether the economic, social and environmental systems that make up the community are providing a healthy, productive, meaningful life for all community residents, present and future. How has the quality of life in your community changed over the last 20 or 40 years? How has your community changed economically? Are there fewer or more good-paying jobs are people working more and earning less or are most people living well? Is there more or less poverty and homelessness? Is it easier or harder for people to find homes that they can afford? How has your community changed socially? Is there less or more crime? Are people less or more willing to volunteer? Are fewer or more people running for public office or working on community boards? How has your community changed environmentally?

One strategy for preserving the integrity of the site is low-impact development that maintains the land's hydrologic functions and reduces stormwater runoff.
