What is "Sustainabiltiy"?

What is sustainability?

With all the buzz around this fancy word many people are probably wondering "what the heck is sustainability?" Well, we're glad you asked!

Sustainability is the relationship between environmental, economic and social dimensions. Some may refer to these as the three pillars. As you can see in the diagram, it's suggested that both economy and society are constrained by the environmental limits.

This is why becoming more consciences about our environment has become so important. Healthy ecosystems provide vital goods and services to humans and other organisms. Without a healthy ecosystem we would not be able to function, there would be no clean water to drink, no fresh air to breathe and no usable land. Thus why so many corporations and businesses are doing their part to become as sustainable as they possibly can.

The Brundtland Commission of the United Nations defined it best, "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs". If everyone could adopt this attitude we'll have a planet suitable for living for many generations to come!
