Why Does Sustainability Matter?

Like it or not, the decisions we make in the next 20 years will be critical in determining our quality of life and economic viability for generations to come. This is because the natural capital upon which all life depends is being drawn down on a global scale. Many societies' capacity to meet their own needs are being systematically destroyed. In response, a growing chorus of citizens and civic leaders are saying there is both significant challenge and phenomenal opportunity in the world's present situation.

While some people deny or delay action, forward thinking people and organizations are moving to take advantage. SSNE invites you to join this growing shift towards creating a world that works for all.
