Sustainability
Sustainability is an ongoing process that involves buy-in at multiple levels – individuals, businesses, educational institutions, local and national governments.
At the heart of sustainability is the goal of meeting needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. It’s not only about the environment but also people and the economy.
A sustainable community is a more resilient community, better positioned to quickly and justly meet the challenges presented by a changing climate, economic instability, pandemics and other disruptors.
In 2022, LFUCG hired its first sustainability manager to lead holistic, coordinated, long-term efforts related to sustainability. Learn about some of our sustainability initiatives below.
