Sustainable Living

Sustainable Living is a comprehensive framework for all human activities in a society that balances human health and happiness with the preservation of the diverse natural ecosystems on which human life depends. A sustainable lifestyle is based on a philosophy of interdependence, respect for nature, and responsibility for future generations. There are many viable pathways to sustainability according to local culture, population, environmental conditions, and available technology.
