Sustainability emerges from an appreciation of diversity, from curiosity about the world around us, and how things work. This also entails respect and engagement in non-exploitative practices to support long-term ecological balance and community survival. To promote these conditions, communities that can practice exploration and experimentation, remaining open to change, are able to create the conditions to nourish an environment that encourages distributed growth and regeneration. Sustainability must be understood as a constant mindset that requires commitment and
the formation of habits.
