Concerns for the environment and the broader issue of "sustainability" abound. As are other organizations, including nonprofits, the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy is wrestling with the implications of these issues for how we do business. While we have yet to hammer out a clear statement of the Journal's position, policy, and metrics for tracking our performance in these areas, we are mindful of our many stakeholders' sustainability concerns and want to acknowledge them. With this editorial, we aim to begin a dialog with, and a periodic report to, our authors, reviewers, editors, readers, advertisers, Board of Directors, and Section owners about where we are on the path to sustainable publishing and what we are doing to address these issues.
