Stand Up For Sustainability
Stand Up For Sustainability is calling all people, businesses, and government to Stand Up For Sustainability by learning, leading, and supporting the change necessary to grow a sustainable economy and planet for the 21st Century. The business model of the last century focuses solely on profit maximization which is always at the expense of people and planet, hurting our society and environment. We need to create, develop, and support policy and business that values a triple bottom line of People, Planet, and Profit. We need to demand commerce use less energy and renewable energy; be innovative and resourceful with their materials and waste, and provide workers and consumers with safe, healthy, and sustainable benefits.
We’re at a time in human history where we have the science, technology, and ability to learn from the past and alter the devastating trend of how business, energy, and pollution combine to affect our environment and society. It is the overwhelming responsibility of people of this generation to Stand Up for Sustainability and shape the course of the future for our country and planet. Our children and grandchildren depend on us to act now by supporting a new revolution of sustainability.
Will you support and share this petition demanding that our business and governmental leaders act in ways that create, develop, and support a system that encourages sustainable commerce?

Why is this important?
We need governmental leaders and businesses to value a triple bottom line of People, Planet, and Profit. Profit maximization at the expense of People and Planet does not work for the economy of the 21st century and affects our society and environment. There is no longer a debate on climate change, it is real, it is here, and it is caused by human activity. If we continue to burn coal and oil to provide our energy and fuel our economy, and continue to use and dispose of our resources irresponsibly, there will be dire consequences to our ecosystem, our health, and inevitably our economy. Global temperature is rising from carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere and the world’s access to healthy food and water is diminishing. Warmer air holds more moisture than cold air which increases evaporation, resulting in more drought, flooding, storms, and more frequent and powerful “extreme weather events.” This pattern of global warming and climate change can still be reversed, but we need to act now by supporting policy and businesses that favor a triple bottom line.
Will you support a petition, a business, a politician, or a country that leads its people, businesses, and policy to be more sustainable? Will you learn, share, and talk to others about sustainability? Will you create, support, and grow businesses that are humane, creative, and environmentally responsible? Will you govern in a way that you’re supposed to; by supporting and sustaining the conditions of human life - in an environmental and fiscally responsible way?
Our goal is to reach 1,000,000 signatures by January 17th so that the President will address it in his Inauguration Day Speech on January 20th. Be bold and STAND UP FOR SUSTAINABILITY.
