What is sustainability?
The Australian Curriculum says: “Sustainability addresses the ongoing capacity of Earth to maintain all life. Sustainable patterns of living seek to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations.”
Sustainability balances our need to live now with the need for the Earth to be able to support everyone who comes after us. Humanity has a huge impact on our world, so everyone must see that we need to take action to live more sustainably.
