What is Sustainability

Sustainability

糖心Vlog Us

Over thirty years ago in 1987, the United Nations Brundtland Commission defined sustainability as 鈥渕eeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." We at 糖心Vlog endeavor to enact environmentally responsible practices, grounded in economic and social equity, and through our actions to have a positive impact on our community and our planet.
