The founding of Western
Sustainability
• “In 1789, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter
to James Madison arguing that a federal
bond should be paid within one generation
of the debt, because, as he put it, the earth
belongs to the living. No man can by
natural right oblige the lands he occupied,
or the persons who succeeded him in that
occupation, to the payment of debts
contracted by him. For if he could, he
might, during his own life, eat up the
usufruct of the lands for several
generations to come, and then the lands
would belong to the dead, and not to the
living.”

Sustainability
• "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two
key concepts:
– the concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's
poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and
– the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social
organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future
needs.”
• Our Common Future,
the Brundtland Report -
UN World Commission on
Environment and Development,
1987
The three E’s
• Ecology, Economy, Equity
– “Ecology (from Greek: οίκος, oikos, "household"; and
λόγος, logos,"knowledge The term ecology or
oekologie was coined by the German biologist Ernst
Haeckel in 1866, when he defined it as "the
comprehensive science of the relationship of the
organism to the environment.”
– “The word ‘Economics’ has its origin in the Greek
‘Oikonomikós’ (relating to household management),
from ‘Oikos’ (house). A household was the unit of
economy, literally. The family worked the farm, grew
its own food, cooked its own meals, and took out its
own trash. Sound economy meant sound
management of the household.”
– Social Equity / Equity and the Common Interest

analysis of the physical
environmental effects, not
the social impacts, of a
given action” (Waterman,
2007)

EPA: Environmental Justice
• "Environmental Justice is the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect
to the development, implementation,
and enforcement of environmental
laws, regulations, and policies.
• (This) will be achieved when everyone
enjoys the same degree of protection
from environmental and health hazards
and equal access to the decision-
making process to have a healthy
environment in which to live, learn, and
work."

Justice
• “No group of people,
including racial, ethnic, or

should bear a
disproportionate share of the
negative environmental
consequences resulting from
industrial, municipal, and
commercial operations or the
execution of federal, state,
local, and tribal programs
and policies” - EPA

The Limits to Positivism
• Rather than attachment to linear progress of scientific and technological
advancement based on historically outdated assumptions about human
nature, an evolutionary wise method of adaptation would recognize
inappropriate belief systems and values that threaten to destroy the
environment and thus the cradle of civilization (Clarke & Gaile, 1997).

products and services related to alternative
energy, resource conservation, and pollution
reduction.
Quality of Life
• “In order to maintain an economic edge over its
peers, OC must address the high costs
associated with conducting business or work
diligently to preserve other quality of life assets
that make it a desirable place to live and work;
such as high-quality educational institutions, low
crime, and cultural and recreational opportunities.”

Water and Energy
• Water, (Food), and Energy are interdependent although rarely
integrated in policy (Moresco, J., 2009).
• Considering energy and water together could offer substantial
economic and environmental benefits
• Water-related energy use “consumes about 19 percent of the
state’s electricity, 30 percent of its natural gas, and 88 billion
gallons of diesel fuel every year (Krebs, 2007, p. 3).
Water Element
• Recommended inclusion by Office of
Planning & Research’s 2003 General Plan
Guidelines
• Water management covered by 5/7
mandatory elements, but disconnect
between the land use and water planning
functions - water supply nor quality, only
flooding
• Collaboration with water agency’s Urban

Green Development Survey
- The Concord Group
• The Concord Group’s survey was to measure the near- and long-term outlook of
green development practices in commercial real estate in the context of today’s
recessionary climate.
• In the short-term, municipalities will be one of very few groups involved in
sustainable development. During the downturn the public sector will look to pass
new green legislation and retrofit public buildings with green features.
• During the economic recovery, there will likely be a sharp increase in green
property acquisitions as investors and financiers try to position themselves for a
long-term future in real estate, undoubtedly filled with green development
opportunities.
• As capital markets unfreeze during the economic recovery, investors will look to
position themselves for a green development-driven future by acquiring
sustainable properties. This will lead a sudden, momentary rise in the sale price
premium.
• In the long-term, sustainable development will become an industry standard,
with a continued emphasis on real cost savings and government-imposed
environmental benefits associated with green technology.

2010 Caring for Creation Conference - OC ICE

  • 1. 2010 Caring for Creation Conference “The Present State of the O.C. Sustainability Community” By Montgomery Norton Saturday, October 30, 2010 St. Mark Presbyterian Church, 2200 San Joaquin Hills Road, Newport Beach, CA
  • 2. “The city is first a holy place.” – Kevin Lynch & Lewis Mumford
  • 3. Indigenous Knowledge • Alternative or intervention strategy for mitigating, if not solving, our ecological and economic problems? • American Indian Resource Program - UC Irvine – http://www.airp.uci.edu/index.php • The OC Native American Sacred Sites Task Force – http://angeles.sierraclub.org/ocosc/sacred_sites.htm Asking the Right Questions - Native Perspectives on Sustainability Nikishna Polequaptewa Orange HillsSaddleback Canyons
  • 4. The founding of Western Sustainability • “In 1789, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to James Madison arguing that a federal bond should be paid within one generation of the debt, because, as he put it, the earth belongs to the living. No man can by natural right oblige the lands he occupied, or the persons who succeeded him in that occupation, to the payment of debts contracted by him. For if he could, he might, during his own life, eat up the usufruct of the lands for several generations to come, and then the lands would belong to the dead, and not to the living.” Source: Braungart, M. & McDonough, W. (2002). Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the way we make things. NY: North Point Press, pp. 185-186.

  • 5. Sustainability • "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts: – the concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and – the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs.” • Our Common Future, the Brundtland Report - UN World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987
  • 6. The three E’s • Ecology, Economy, Equity – “Ecology (from Greek: οίκος, oikos, "household"; and λόγος, logos,"knowledge The term ecology or oekologie was coined by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel in 1866, when he defined it as "the comprehensive science of the relationship of the organism to the environment.” – “The word ‘Economics’ has its origin in the Greek ‘Oikonomikós’ (relating to household management), from ‘Oikos’ (house). A household was the unit of economy, literally. The family worked the farm, grew its own food, cooked its own meals, and took out its own trash. Sound economy meant sound management of the household.” – Social Equity / Equity and the Common Interest Source: Retrieved November 29, 2010 from http://www.eoearth.org/files/111501_111600 /111577/300px- Sustainable_development_triangle.gif
  • 7. Social Justice • “CEQA requires only an analysis of the physical environmental effects, not the social impacts, of a given action” (Waterman, 2007) • Access to affordable housing and employment opportunities (jobs/housing balance) Source:http://egov.ocgov.com/vgnfiles/ocgov/CEO/Do cs/2009%20Community%20Indicators.pdf
  • 8. EPA: Environmental Justice • "Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. • (This) will be achieved when everyone enjoys the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision- making process to have a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work."

  • 9. Environmental Justice • “No group of people, including racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic groups, should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, municipal, and commercial operations or the execution of federal, state, local, and tribal programs and policies” - EPA Cited in Bullard, R.D., (2005). The Quest for Environmental Justice: Human rights and the politics of pollution. San Francisco: Sierra Club Books. Source: Retrieved November 1, 2010 from http://sciencedude.ocregister.com/files/2010/07/toxictracts.jpg
  • 10. The Limits to Positivism • Rather than attachment to linear progress of scientific and technological advancement based on historically outdated assumptions about human nature, an evolutionary wise method of adaptation would recognize inappropriate belief systems and values that threaten to destroy the environment and thus the cradle of civilization (Clarke & Gaile, 1997).

During the downturn the public sector will look to pass new green legislation and retrofit public buildings with green features. • During the economic recovery, there will likely be a sharp increase in green property acquisitions as investors and financiers try to position themselves for a long-term future in real estate, undoubtedly filled with green development opportunities. • As capital markets unfreeze during the economic recovery, investors will look to position themselves for a green development-driven future by acquiring sustainable properties. This will lead a sudden, momentary rise in the sale price premium. • In the long-term, sustainable development will become an industry standard, with a continued emphasis on real cost savings and government-imposed environmental benefits associated with green technology.

  25. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is an international, non-profit research and educational organization that serves to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide. The ULI is based out of Washington D.C., and is connected throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia by a network of district councils. In North America, there are currently 51 district councils, and in Europe, there are currently 16 district councils. The ULI Orange County/Inland Empire is the eighth largest district council, with nearly 1,000 members. The projected growth for Southern California will place considerable pressures on the wildlands of the region., This report was produced to look at strategies for how to solve the issues pertaining to Edge Development. “ULI has already recognized that real estate development needs to enter a new era and formed a policy initiative on Climate Change, Land Use, and Energy (CLUE) in 2007, because the best practices of “creating and sustaining thriving communities” are being challenged by new forces at the nexus of global climate change, land use decisions, and the rising cost of energy” (pp. 5). ULI’s challenge in creating edge developments is not just about green building—rather, it is about advocating for a lifestyle change, for a solution in making a meaningful and systematic change through the integration of urban design and development into more sustainable communities.
