What is Sustainability?
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. Environmental sustainability has been used to describe policies and actions that are taken to meet today’s needs without compromising the needs of those in the future. Carver Center strives to provide checks and balances on our own actions in order to do our part to ensure that our environmental systems – air, water, energy, land - continue to endure.
