Sustainability

Simply said, ‘sustainability’ describes a state where mankind achieves the capacity to meet our greatest potential today while ensuring economic, social and environmental health in the future.  For northeast Ohio, this concept is transformative.  Greater Cleveland and Cuyahoga County can be a platform on which to build a legacy of environmental responsibility that is greater than the sum of its parts; an equitable balance for our citizens, the business community, and the environment.  The journey has begun.
