Detroit Retreat

The BLI Peace Leadership Retreat in Detroit

2023 Theme—Sustainability and the Environment

"Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. To pursue sustainability is to create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations." 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
