Wow I love the simple yet powerful explanation. Will love to go deeper
I have been more consciously sorting my household waste for recycling and washing all packaging to go into recycle bin. I try not to buy plastic bags and look for compostable packaging. I have bought a compost bin though still not good at using properly. I plant lavender and flowers to attract bees. I use bank cards that invest in sustainable companies (where I can). I want to buy an electric car but will when I can afford it. In the meantime, I have a hybrid low emissions fuel engine. I have other goals to reduce use of plastics in my household.
thank you SO MUCH!! God bless you
This is sustainability but short Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.
Well said!

Do you know how I can reference this for an academic article? And what research, literature or links have you used for this video? Kindly let me know.
Hi there! Can you contact us at thegogreenpost@gmail.com
I make accessories out of materials that the City of Toronto doesn’t recycle. It’s not just good for the environment it’s also a great way to use resources that we already have.
How cool! Do you have a website or anything where people can go for more information?
Can u explore wat it is
How can we make the companies limit their consumption if we are not able to lower the demand in markets?
I think the best way is to purchase products from companies that do limit their consumption or buy the eco friendly option. As companies see people spending money on eco friendly options they will shift business in that direction.
👍
Thank you!
I design and create clothing that is sustainable using 100% organic ring-spun combed cotton. They are Global Organic Textile Standard certified and conducive to green living. And as that isn’t enough for me I donate 50% of the profits to charities aiming to preserve the environment locally and globally 🌍
Amazing! where can people find more information?
Sustainability is about sustaining profits.
It could be! Profit is one of the important pillars of sustainability.
Can i ask if the three pillars (environment, social and economic) are the concept of sustainability?
Where's your source on mesopotania? All people know about it is that they had a strong agricultural system which was eventually ruined by floods and erratic weather.
I’d have to dig up my file, but that’s why I made sure to explain it as “contributed to” rather than “caused” since it really wasn’t clear what the cause was.
Sustainability is VHEMT

Yes, sometimes "a" fits better and the title doesn't get cut off. Grammar or better title? You can't win em all 😂
Simply saying balance of economic opportunity, social equality, and Earth's resources doesn't pin down sustainability--we could destroy ecosystems through pollution or climate change and that doesn't fit under any of your terms. You seem to be trying to make a video to summarize the UN's term "sustainable development," which itself is an oxymoronic concept.
Thanks for the comment! I consider earths climate and ecosystems to be a resource. Their ability to absorb pollutants, maybe it be in the form of carbon emissions or physical waste, is something we have to balance against our social and economic systems.
Deeply flawed. If one thinks economics, markets, jobs, corporations, etc., can be made sustainable one doesn't understand sustainability at all. Simplistic thinking siloes everything, as in this video. Water? What about the building? What about the bottling? What about the transport? Etc.? Sustainability is SYSTEMIC. You cannot silo any part of any system.
We still see many unsustainable things today? Virtually everything produced in the modern economy is unsustainable.
Gogreenpost? We seriously need to talk.
