Headlines:
- Don't get bogged down in trying to define it before doing anything.
- Sustainability is "Place - Based".
- Stay flexible
- Define basic principles.
- What is starting point, the reference point?
- Sustainability is ongoing, work in progress.
- Tap into what is being done now; build on current efforts (practices, knowledge, etc.).
- "Environmentally protective" does not always mean "sustainable".
- Must transform how we do business.
- Use developing networks to identify definitions and related practices already in play.
- Connect with the private sector - learn from their experience.
