The sustainable system internalizes ecological processes, building and designing in ways that work with the balance of the earth instead of anthropocentrically bulldozing through the middle of earth's systems. Through attention and study of the eco systems and niches present in each piece of land, conceptual material can be assembled and strategic components of the earth's natural system implored to harmoniously integrate human-systems into nature. The resulting intentional organization patterns a method, which has the potential to nourish life in all its forms, promoting a thriving human-nature balanced system.

Sustainable is a way of being. It describes a balance between the source of resources, required to accomplish all endeavors and the entities utilizing those resources. The principles of sustainability can be employed to create balanced systems that meet the current needs of people, without compromising the viability of the Earth to provide for future generations' needs and endeavors. These sustainable systems are modified to viably respond to human's current dynamic needs while maintaining long-term focus on the planetary effects of the practices.

At the core of sustainability is respect. This respect extends from the planet, which provides everything to respect for generations to come. Within the sustainable system, emphasis is on implementing human systems in ways, which cause little or no damage to the eco-balance. With this thinking, humans can thrive with the planet, instead of at her expense.

Perhaps we cannot raise the winds
But each of us can put up the sail
So that when the wind comes
We can catch it
