Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need <br />for survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. <br />Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in <br />productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of <br />present and future. <br />Although it wasn’t always coined “sustainability”, St. Anthony <br />Village has long valued the protection and wise use of our <br />resources. With our mission statement “to be a progressive and <br />livable community, a walkable village, which is sustainable, safe <br />and secure”. Sustainability is an integral part of the day-to-day <br />workings within City Hall. <br />
