What is Sustainability?

From the UN: Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Simply put, sustainability is a way of living that meets the needs of humans without depleting or damaging our natural resources.  Sustainability supports ecological balance for the long-term health and existence of people and planet.
