Sustainability

What is sustainability? 

Sustainability for a generation is when they meet the needs of the present efficiently without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. To be sustainable the generation would have to use resources at a rate that would allow them to be replenished for future use. In my view, to be sustainable a community would have to use their resources, while preserving as much as possible for future use. Sustainability has become a term used widely that can cover a wide of variety of topics. For now, I feel my definition of sustainability is very vague, but hopefully by the end of course I can make it more set in stone.
