Welcome to
"Let's Talk About Sustainability!"

Here are some of the questions the project will be asking:

• What is the purpose of economic activity?
• Does everyone have a right to participate?
• Do the arts, parenting & friendship have value?
• Are we really too poor for quality education and health care?
• Does a growing economy help?
• Are pollution and resource key elements to consider in decision-making?
