Sustainability means using Earth's natural resources in a way that we could keep doing
it for a long, long time. We can be more sustainable by reducing our use of natural resources and by protecting those resources from over-use or extinction.
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.
​Sustainability is not just environmental-ism.
Sustainable development is a way for people to use resources without the resources running out. The term used by the Brundtland Commission defined it as development with sustainability that "meets the needs of the present and also compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
We only have one Earth, there is no "Planet B" that we can move to, so let's make this Planet the best place to live!
