According to Wikipedia, sustainability is a characteristic of a process or state that can be maintained at a certain level indefinitely. The term, in its environmental usage, refers to the potential longevity of vital human ecological support systems, such as the planet’s climatic system, systems of agriculture, industry, forestry, fisheries, and the systems on which they depend.
Basically, while doing our daily activities we inevitably interact with the environment. The major negative impact that the modern industrial society has on the planet must be reduced, or the Earth will eventually die out. In order to slow down the alteration process, each and one of us must act responsible.
