There’s a line we keep coming back to: sustainability is bound to be in our future. There’s a kind of inevitability about it.

Not long ago, “going green” was seen as optional, a nice gesture for companies with spare budgets. Today, it’s becoming a basic expectation.

Sustainability means three things working together:

• Environmental: protecting nature, reducing waste, saving water, and keeping the air clean
• Social: treating people fairly and supporting communities with equal access to basic needs
• Economic: building businesses and financial systems that last without using up every resource

Take one away, and the whole thing wobbles.

The encouraging part is that you don’t have to be a big corporation to start. A school can start. A shop can start. A family can start.

The future is coming either way. We’d rather help build one worth living in.
