SUSTAINABILITY
 

Sustainability has become a term that can be widely applied to almost every facet of life. It is the capacity to endure. It doesn't just mean green, you can be environmentally aware yet not sustainable. The former Prime Minister of Norway defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs”. This definition has been used ever since by the World Business Council for Sustainable Investment. This concept applies to everyone.

Our goal is to make our lifestyle choices in such a way that it allows us the capacity to endure. This requires thought, planning and responsible use of resources.

We really appreciate the philosophy behind the work of artist Susan Point, which we have collected in our office. We agree with her that it is of utmost importance to remember what we have learned in life and to pass that knowledge and wisdom onto our children. To not pass on today’s knowledge, our wealth, and environmental health will come at a high cost to future generations.

We believe that a lot of people taking the same step forward towards any type of sustainability can make a big difference! We all benefit from stronger communities, stronger eco-systems, and stronger world wide economies.

The Tower group aspires to inspire the world to understand sustainability and give back more than you take. Improve the lives and livelihood of yourself and others by promoting a sustainable future. Have you ever asked yourself what kind of legacy will you leave? Will it be positive or lasting? We invite you to join our mission.

Dear Tower Group,

Thank you for all of your support in donating prizes for the Sun and Salsa Event in our efforts to raise money on behalf of the Humane Society of Calgary. The Humane Society has received a listing of the individuals such as yourself who have made such generous contributions.

We had a wonderful turn out and the money raised will most definitely help the Calgary Humane Society in their mission to encourage an atmosphere of respect for all living things.

Maverick, a 5 year old male Laborador Retriever is currently available for adoption at the Calgary Humane Society.

All of the staff at The Tower Group would like to thank you for your contribution and Maverick thanks you!
