Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. It involves finding solutions to improve quality of life for all people without creating problems for the future or impacting others unfairly. A sustainable school teaches students to care for themselves, others, and the world now and in the future through their classwork, local community involvement, and school commitments and policies related to areas like water, energy, waste, and transport.
