This event is sponsored by the many organizations and businesses who are volunteering their efforts and resources to make this a true community project. We greatly appreciate all kinds of local support, including in-kind and monetary donations. All donors will be recognized equally by the Organizing Coalition.
Sustainability means the maintenance and continuity of life, from generation to generation.
It means living in a way that does not compromise the present and future well-being of our ecosystem and all that is part of it, including humans. This implies that achieving sustainability will be a social, economic, ecological, political, cultural, territorial, philosophical and wholly multi-faceted process. The Earth Day 2001 Celebration organizing coalition recognizes these basic principles of holistic sustainability, and will use them to guide our work. Our society should not damage the environment's integrity and regenerative capacity. Redefine social decision-making process so that power rests with citizen communities.
