| Sustainability is expressed as meeting present environmental, social, and economic needs without compromising these factors for future generations<ref>U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [http://www.epa.gov/Sustainability "What is sustainability?"] Retrieved on: 2007-08-20.</ref><ref>United Nations General Assembly{{w|United Nations General Assembly}} (2005). [http://daccessdds.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N05/487/60/PDF/N0548760.pdf?OpenElement 2005 World Summit Outcome], Resolution A/60/1, adopted by the General Assembly on 15 September 2005. Retrieved on: 2009-07-25.</ref><ref>This widely accepted definition of Sustainability comes from the Brundtland Commission in a 1987 report for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), specifically referring to economic development. Other terms can replace "development", however, and the definition remains valid. "Activities", behaviors", "practices", "energy", "consumption" are some of those terms.</ref> A practice cannot be said to be 'sustainable for X years/generations.' The use of any span of time disqualifies the activity. Sustainability is for perpetuity.

Sustainable design encompasses the development of [[appropriate technology]], which is a staple of sustainable living practices.<ref>{{cite book |last= Fritsch |first= Al |coauthors= Paul Gallimore |title = Healing Appalachia: Sustainable Living Through Appropriate Technology |publisher= University Press of Kentucky |year= 2007 |isbn= 0-8131-2431-X |page= 2}} Unknown retrieval date, revised: 2009-07-25</ref> Sustainable development in turn is the use of these technologies in infrastructure.
