The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired in value.
About Us
The Cass County Sustainability Committee (CCSC) is a volunteer group of Cass County citizens working to provide information to the community and to address ways to promote environmental sustainability in Cass County.
Sustainability
There are many ways to define sustainability. The simplest definition is: A sustainable society is one that can persist over generations, one that is farseeing enough, flexible enough, and wise enough not to undermine either its physical or its social systems of support.
