Sustain, Sustainable, Sustainability
and Holistic Sustainability

My work in education and landscape architecture supports holistic sustainability and supports many of the 40 ways to sustain communities, people, and nature. 

Each popular modern sustainable action (recycling, LED lights, solar panels, community gardens, bicycling, etc.) fits into at least one of the following 40 sustainable categories. Sustainability aims to help both people and nature survive and thrive. Sustainability includes recycling, reusable bags, shopping local, organic food, and renewable energies. Yet, sustainability deals with more than food, money, energy, and technology. Sustainability also deals with communities, culture, nature, the outdoors, education, community economics, morals (connection and helping others: both people and nature), science, art, creativity, self-sufficiency, and more.
