Sustainability

Sustainability is a concept which deals with mankind's impact, through development, on the environment. Sustainable Development is "development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Today's environmental problems, like air pollution, are largely a consequence of the unsustainable consumption of natural resources and the mismanagement of waste products. Sustainability is about environmental protection, sustained economic growth and social equity.
