By 2020 the Government would like all schools to

be models of sustainability.....

But what on

EARTH does that mean?!

Sustainability is a

big word.....“development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”

“a global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace”

“the human desire to live in harmony with nature and one-another ”

“the capacity to endure”

“an attempt to provide the best outcomes for human and natural environments both now and into the indefinite future”

“the ability to continue/maintain into the future”

“the ability to continue without lessening, to nourish, to allow to flourish”

“the desire to maintain and improve the economic, environmental and social characteristics of an area so its community can continue to lead healthy, productive, enjoyable lives there”

“improving our lives without continually increasing the amount of energy and material goods that we consume”

Patrick Okoth, Year 8Abraham Moss High School, Manchester

“Sustainability is simply finding ways to take care, and preserve the future of,

life on Earth, where CARE is the main objective. “

“If WE care, and can persuade others around us to care,

then WE can make the difference.”
