SUSTAINABILITY  From the verb to sustain, meaning: to hold up; to bear; to support; to provide for; to maintain; to sanction; to keep going; to keep up; to prolong the life of.   SUSTAINABLE Capable of being sustained; capable of being continued with minimal long-term effect on the environment.

Our mission is to enhance, enable and integrate sustainable use of land and water for the Houston area's continued growth and economic vitality.

Across this country and the world, new ideas, methods, materials and technologies aimed at positively impacting the sustainability of land and water resources have been widely adopted, some are even being developed right here in Houston. This forum has been formed to provide exposure to the full range of these practices, to encourage their adoption, their adaptation where needed for the conditions found in our community—and to foster creativity in both the development of new solutions and the regulatory infrastructure that enables them.

Maintaining the pace of growth and development in the greater Houston area requires that those with a vested interest adopt new ideas and employ new methods that will insure that growth can be sustained. The forum seeks to engage the broadest possible range of constituent groups, in a collaborative effort that focuses on practical application rather than abstract theory in the exploration of incremental answers to some of the Houston area's most significant land/water sustainability issues.
