Sustainability happens when we take less from nature than nature can comfortably provide.
The UN World Commission on Environment and Development said: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
The US EPA also states it elegantly: “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. To pursue sustainability is to create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations.”
Hempoffset’s sustainability commitment
We promise to minimise, measure and offset our CO2 and GHG emissions. We’ll use our hemp carbon offset products to illustrate how an operation can serve all the people of the planet, without impacting the carbon levels in the atmosphere. Join us.
The UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals make a great framework for taking action across multiple areas simultaneously, and we strongly support them.
