Please stay a while - have a look around, and register with us. Together, our voices can be heard, and our call for responsible, sustainable practices will help to ensure a viable tomorrow for all the citizens of this fragile world - human and otherwise.
Utilizing The Natural Step as a foundation, Sustain Jefferson assists companies, non-profit organizations, individuals and municipalities in and around Jefferson County, Wisconsin, with their transition to an ecologically, socially and economically sustainable future. The Natural Step is based on sound science, systems thinking and practical business decision-making.
Sustainable development is defined as balancing the fulfillment of human needs with the protection of the natural environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but in the indefinite future. The Brundtland Commission coined what has become the most-often-quoted definition of sustainable development as that which "meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." - Wikipedia
Sustain Jefferson seeks to build on this philosophy by educating and reaching out to constituents in Jefferson County, the state of Wisconsin, and throughout the world. Today, with the power of the Internet, methods of sustainable development can reach a wide audience, and impact communities in dire need of restoration.
Thanks to all who led workshops, volunteered, and/or attended Sustain Jefferson's inaugural Skills For Simple Living Fair, on September 24th, at the Johnson Creek Elementary and High School! Some of the instructors have provided resources from their workshops to be posted on our website, and they can be found in our Skills Fair Library.
