What does Sustainability have to do with us in the CBA Group?

That was a trick question...SUSTAINABILITY has to do with everyone.

In our world in 2012, it will be more important then ever to understand this concept of sustaining.  Some readers will have heard this before and for others this may be something new to consider.  But I will give you some basic information here that can be the start for you if you are new to this.

What is sustainability?

"Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations.
Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment." epa.gov

Environmental needs and the changes in our planet's resources have been on the horizon for more then two decades.  It may be that this is the very time when that knowledge must be called to action!  It is time to put into useful action that which we know as knowledge.

One way to do this is to change the "mindset" that we have lived under for our entire lives where it pertains to health, wellness and food.  The human body (according to Eastern beliefs) can be completely healed by food.  Amazing, isn't it?  Food is supposed to be both nourishing and medicinal.  It is frightening to think about how much sickness comes through the food chain. 

Eating "organic", may seem to some people like a fad or new-age lifestyle choice when in fact it may come to be necessary for us to all know how to grow our own vegetables, herbs...raise our own livestock and cultivate our own fresh water source.

In preparation for our Saturday meeting (February 11th), I would like to toss these ideas around and see what people think.  Please join us on the Discussion Board of our Meetup Page to go into greater detail on this.
