Sustainability.... is an attempt to provide the best outcomes for human and natural
environments for both now and the indefinite future. It relates to the connection of
economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society, as well as
the non-human environment. It is intended to be a means of balancing civilization and
human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their
needs and express their greatest potential today, while preserving biodiversity
and natural ecosystems, and planning and acting for the ability to maintain these ideals
in a very long term. Sustainability affects every level of organization, from the local
family to the entire planet. We must all strive to live a sustainable lifestyle.
From biodeisel to recycling this is a sustainable living resource meant to help us all learn to do this.
