Sustainability refers to the ability of a society or an
ecosystem to function indefinitely without squandering the
resources on which it relies.
Sustainable Living is the act of living such that our
actions do not jeopardize the ability of the earth to meet
the needs of future generations of people as well as other
forms of life.
Sustainable Living is not "subsistence living." Too many
people envision living sustainably as depriving themselves
of comforts and the necessities of life. This is not the
case. Many people, after taking a few steps toward living
sustainably, find that they have more comforts in life, and
have the luxury of time to devote to the things that matter
to them most. Some people choose to voluntarily simplify
their lives in one way or another. Others choose to
encourage water conservation or air quality in their
communities. It's up to everyone to decide what steps to
take, but if we all do a little, we will help to conserve
our communities and the planet for future generations.
Because Sustainable Living is such a large topic, and
because it interests me so much, it has its own website.
