Defining Sustainability
Just what is sustainability? Sustainability is the concept of meeting the needs of the present generation without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves striking a delicate balance between economic progress, environmental protection, and social well-being to ensure a lasting and harmonious coexistence on Earth.
Encouraging Sustainable Living
In recent decades, there has been a growing awareness of our influence on the Earth. Whether it's through newspapers, the internet, radio, or the evening news, we are constantly exposed to information about the shifting climate, rapid depletion of natural resources, biodiversity loss, and polluted skies—clear indicators of our impact on the planet. Often, our lifestyle prioritizes creature comforts and convenience at the expense of harmony with nature and its natural systems. To safeguard the beauty and viability of our planet, it is essential that we adopt more sustainable living practices.
