Dear Friends--Sustainable Tompkins is once again soliciting submissions for the Signs of Sustainability series published in each issue of the Tompkins Weekly.  This is a wonderful opportunity to present the mission and vision of your organization, promote a major event or simply get your group's position on an important topic out to the public.  Almost any topic is acceptable as long as the theme is sustainability.  So far only the first week of January is spoken for.  But slots fill up quickly, so if you or someone in your organization wishes to write a Sings of Sustainability column in 2012 please get back to me soon to secure your spot in a future issue of Tompkins Weekly.  Thanks.   Tom

"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

The World Commission on Environment and Development,
Gro Harlem Brundtland
Our Common Future, Oxford University Press, 1987

MY NOTE:  Sustainable development does not mean
"sustainable growth" as growth per se is not
sustainable.  And the term "sustainable" has to mean
"for a very long time" (A. Bartlett).
