Seven-generation sustainability is the tenet that all decisions should be made with consideration for the effect they will have on the next seven generations to follow us.

Seven against Thebes Seven against Thebes, in Greek legend, seven heroes—Polynices, Adrastus, Amphiaraüs, Hippomedon, Capaneus, Tydeus, and Parthenopaeus—who made war on Eteocles, king of Thebes.
Bryophyta -> Bryophyte Generations The conspicuous green plant body of a bryophyte is the haploid, or gametophyte, generation of the plant life cycle.
Bonaparte -> Later Generations Of the second generation of the family the most important was Louis Bonaparte's son, Louis Napoleon, who became emperor as Napoleon III (see also separate article for Napoleon II, son of Napoleon I and Marie Louise).
Sustainability also must be viewed as a process because our knowledge of ourselves, of our strengths and limitations, and of the social and environmental implications of our activities changes as progress is made toward the vision, is incomplete.
Sustainability seeks to ensure, to the degree possible, that present generations attain a high degree of economic security and justice and can realize democracy and popular participation in control of their communities, while maintaining the integrity of the ecological systems upon which all life and all production depends.
The present generation’s search for sustainability places responsibility on them to provide future generations with the where-with-all for their vision of sustainability, hoping that they have the wisdom and intelligence to use what is provided in an appropriate manner.
