*The presentation of this award will be announced at the annual industry appreciation luncheon, which is held in the fall of each year.
What is Sustainability?
Sustainability is commonly defined as meeting society’s present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Why is Sustainability Important?
Sustainability is important to help protect our environment, conserve our resources, reduce our impact on natural systems, and leave future generations with plentiful resources. Sustainability is seen as a long term goal that is becoming a new way of living and doing business. Practicing sustainability is living responsibly as it can substantially reduce what we spend and even be profitable in some cases. It teaches accountability, promotes community values, and gives people a way to plug in and preserve where they live.
