Founders

American Sustainability LLC started as a collaboration between passionate professors and students from across the political spectrum, all with the intent to find solutions that could bring people together, working towards fairness for all people and good stewardship of the resources we use, while still promoting profits for all our customers and collaborators, i.e., the triple bottom line.
