What is Sustainability?

According to the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, sustainability is simply defined as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Sustainable Living Practices

Our vision at CSF is that all African American communities in the future will be safe, healthy, socially and economically equitable and harmonious with the environment.

Consequences of Environmental Injustice

Environmental Injustice exists when people face more exposure to environmental hazards due to their race, color, national origin, or income.

Envisioning a Sustainable Black Community

Our vision is to create a national network of sustainable African American communities where the residents and families are able to thrive. These communities will feature clean air and water.
