Pledge to Adopt a Brighter Future

It is important for us to realize the impact we have on our environment. Our daily routines affect the world around us on a much larger scale than we’d like to think. But we have the ability to shape the future. It is up to each one of us.
The Council for Sustainable Florida developed the following standards with the assistance of hundreds of individuals and business leaders across the state. Adopt and implement these principles and you are on your way to becoming a sustainable organization.
