Sustainability is a significant and much discussed concept, yet, unfortunately not one that is always clearly understood. In recent years, it has been applied to lots of things, often simply because it sounds good. What it really means in human terms is “meeting today’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”. This definition suggests that we are
stewards
, not owners, of resources and should be responsible for the longterm effects of our decisions and actions.
