| The Sustainability Paradigm: By Ariel Kettle 2012 |
Sustainability is a new word that has developed to describe our potential as people to change our systems to ways that are sustainable. Being sustainable means balance: giving and taking from the Earth equally to create a closed, self-sufficient system. Sustainability means maintenance of the Earth; living on our planet without destructively impacting it. This seems like a simple concept - keep your home clean and your resources in continuous supply – yet currently we are exploiting our resources to the point where we are running out, and polluting our planet in turn. Saving our home and ultimately mankind starts with us. We need to inspire motivation to care about our planet, not only because we need what the Earth provides, but also because we respect the place where we came from. Sustainability is reconstruction of humanity, socially and economically, within our environment. We need to understand that everything is interconnected and equally important.
