What is sustainability?
- posted 11/22/2011
Sustainability is not just ''being green'' and is moreover not easy to achieve. Its concept is interconnected with everything we do, consume and make. It's a difficult term to wrap one's head around, as currently there is nothing created by humanity that truly fits its definition. Sustainability is defined by finding a balance between the financial, social, cultural and ecological (commonly called the Quadruple Bottom Line). This balance must allow for the needs of all of us currently living on Earth to be met without preventing those same needs from being met by future generations (Brundtland Commission, 1987). As we all know, not everyone in this world has what they need (access to clean water, education, income, or healthy food) and it is logical to assume, neither might their children. To achieve the vision that is 'sustainability' all of our economies and ways of living must allow for those without to 'have.' This goal is arguably utopian, political and of course challenging.
