What is Sustainability?

Sustainability is about acknowledging the choices in our lives that have negatively impacted our global environment and finding ways to improve those choices in order to ensure the availability of resources in the future. Although it is commonly used to bring awareness to the global problem of limited resources worldwide, only when practiced at the individual level can we truly appreciate and understand the strong need to integrate sustainability methods into our daily lives. As a powerful method to understand the need to conserve resources, sustainability not only makes us aware of how wasteful our society has become, more importantly, it offers alternatives that can help us positively change the future in which we and our future generations will live in. Furthermore, sustainability has a strong correlation with modern technology as our lives increasingly become more dependent on it. However, if we alter the way it influences our lives it could become a great resource in helping us become a more sustainable society.
