Welcome!

Sustainability is not a word; it is a way of living our lives day to day. Exploring, sharing, advocating for policies and practices that support and engage us in these interactive dynamics; it's critical to our health as a community, a nation, a planet.

Sustainability is achieved when environmental, economic, societal and humanity are equally addressed from which all things are possible, acknowledging that everything is connected.

Climate Refugees movie

I had the opportunity the other night to see the movie Climate Refugees. To say it was powerful is an understatement. Climate wars, mass migration of primarily impoverished populations are scenarios that painfully are not all in the future, they are happening now. A global changing of our climate gives pause to consider especially where we live in South Florida a particularly low lying region, we could also become climate refugees within the next 100 years. Playing primarily through art cinemas and branches of the USGBC, it is a must see.
