Sustainability literally means the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level like economic growth. Environmental sustainability means the avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance. (Google/Oxford). At the end of 2024 I took an online course about Business and Sustainability through Oxford and Pearson. It is where my passion took life and Office Hours was born. I have shared some of my best resources on these website pages. I am planning to add lessons in accounting, finance, and business with Laura's Lemonade Stand onTik Tok and You Tube, stay tuned. If you would like to weave sustainability into your business, meet me in Office Hours and sign up for the Time Spots you need.
