Resource and Environmental Planning
The earth's natural resources provide for our sustenance and survival. They represent our heritage and our future. They fuel our spirits and they power our economies. They are valued for their goods and services as well as their beauty and inspiration. Somewhere between these paradoxes lies sustainable development, the line where our consumption meets the needs and aspirations of the current generation without compromising the ability to meet those of future generations.
