Sustainable Solebury

"Sustainability" is a term often heard in the context of environmental topics and climate change, but it encompasses vastly more than one may initially think. Touching every facet of life, the goal of sustainability is to build healthy, resilient, stable, and ecologically bearable systems of governance, economy, energy, industry, and living--all while practicing responsible environmental stewardship and resource management.

• Power generation using renewable resources is sustainable due to their high rate of regeneration — whereas energy from fossil fuels is not sustainable due to earth’s finite supply of oil and gas.
• Carefully managed, reasonable use of wood and paper products is also sustainable — whereas the continued production of single-use plastics is not sustainable.

Solebury strives to cultivate a community that thrives ecologically, economically, and socially by continuously working with residents and stakeholders alike.
