sustainability sets the foundation of annà museo. much like our native ancestors, we focus on satisfying the needs of the present generation without endangering the ability of future generations to meet their needs.​​sustainable practices support ecological, human, and economic health and vitality. we believe in using the planet's resources wisely and focusing on a long—term conservation of resources, not short—term profit. sustainability is about our children, our grandchildren, and the world we are leaving them.
