Sustainable Lansing is a coalition of citizens, businesses, local government, and community and environmental groups concerned to shape a sustainable future for the greater Lansing area. A sustainable community lives off the community’s income not its capital and maintains and balances its natural, social, and economic capital. Thus it aims at long term cultural, economic and environmental health and vitality by striving to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
