The theme of sustainability was prominent throughout all the websites Billy provided to our group. According to The Washington State Department of Ecology sustainability means "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This is Ecology's working definition of sustainability. Our society today seams to totally disregards the idea of sustainability. The process of over consumption occurs so often that it is now viewed by the vast majority of people as both normalized as civilized. Many don’t seam to think twice about how they aid to the destruction of the environment on a daily basis. There is little that can be done single handedly to solve this immense problem, but on a very individual and local level people are doing things that both help them environment and protect them from some of the negative side effects our poor behavior has caused to the environment. One thing that people have been doing to maintain a better treatment of our environment farm animals is buying community supported agriculture (CSA). Farmers that grow products for CSA supported farm stands preserve the highest environmental quality and soil health. CSA is not about producing the cheapest food, but rather about growing food with care of the environment in mind. CSA products are sold both at farm stands and via the internet. For example on LocalHarvest.org you can order a “3 Month Butcher Block” for $230. The customer will receive about 15lbs of farm-fresh, grass-fed meats made up of ground beef, pork and lamb cuts and two loaves fresh baked bread made from scratch, right from the farm. The animals are raised with out the use of drugs, antibiotics, hormones, and steroids. CSAs are one of the great ways we can support sustainability of our environment.
