What is Sustainability #2

I feel like throughout the course of this class I really have enhanced my understanding and definition of sustainability. For me, one of the most important things that I have learned is that sustainability should be talked about and shared with all of one's friends and families. This is a great way to spread the ways of sustainability and allow people to realize the impact that they can make. This impact, in my own words, would be described as using what the earth and past has given you to make a life that can sustain itself without needing to produce or consume an enormous amount. It is important to use what is available before going out and buying more and more objects. Creativity can play as big or small a role in the process as one chooses for themselves. Such that, you can make your own clothes out of old clothes or you can use those old clothes as a rag or a dog bed or something of the sort. Sustainability allows you to use to mind and expand your belief about what a particular object may be. Sustainability is an open-minded, free thinking idea that, if put to proper use, could truly help our world and everyone around us.
