I am happy that you brought up this issue, Steve. During the initial meeting regarding the Sustainability Center, Commissioner Adams and many other attendees specifically voiced concerns that the center should not support "greenwashing" of businesses and institutions wishing to ride the positive sustainability wave.

In the planning process for this development, Sam looks forward to sincere efforts at true sustainability (environmental, economic, and social), beginning with a clear definition of "sustainable". Please contribute with your ideas on what you think makes cities, organizations, and individuals sustainable and know that members of the working group for the Sustainability Center are doing the same.
