“A way of life that supports a flourishing society while recognizing the earth’s finite living systems of which we are a part” (Peggy Barlett, Emory)

“Just sustainabilities is …‘the need to ensure a better quality of life for all, now and into the future, in a just and equitable manner, whilst living within the limits of supporting ecosystems’” (Julian Agyeman, Tufts) 

“Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Report, 1987)
