This requires 4r—dg consideration of both long-term and short-term effects on ecological, economic, and community systems.

Reduce dependence upon fossil fuels, extracted underground metals and minerals. 2 . Reduce dependence on chemicals and other manufactured substances that _- can accumulate in Nature . 3 . Reduce dependence on activities that harm life-sustaining ecosystems. �= 4 . Meet the hierarchy of present and future human needs fairly and efficiently. City Sustainability Plan To establish Plan goals and actions , used sustainability objectives to help answer these questions : 1 . How sustainable are we now? 2 . How sustainable do we want to be in the future? 3. How do we get there? 4 . How do we measure progress?
