DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABILITY
A sustainable society is one that can provide an acceptable livelihood to current and future generations within the biophysical constraints of nature in a way that is fair and equitable to all of humanity and all other species.
Sustainability recognizes the inter-relatedness of the economy, society and the environment. It requires that we do not consume resources faster than they can be renewed nor produce wastes faster than they can be absorbed.
