Sustainable Sarasota promotes sustainability throughout Sarasota County Government and the local community. Sustainability means "achieving satisfying lives for all within the ecological limits of our planet." Sarasota County is working to achieve sustainability by balancing economic development with environmental preservation and social equality. The goal is a strong and healthy community where all citizens have equal opportunity to a high quality of life. Sustainable Sarasota is a program of Sarasota County Government that works in conjunction with University of Florida Cooperative Extension / IFAS. The program was initiated in May, 2002 when the Sarasota County Board of Commissioners signed the Sustainability Resolution.
