Sustainability

My conception of sustainability has been that it is a process with a intricacy of systems that requires an understanding of the environment of which we are a part of so that humans can begin to live more harmoniously in the places they live. There are so many ways people can be proactive toward a better interaction with the mother planet, especially in the little daily activities that can easily be overlooked, but it seems fairly convincing that the evolution of our culture has lead us into an overproductive, overconsumptive, and express society that has tended to neglect our impacts on the environment. in this evolution, the cultural mindset has now become one more focused on owning and controlling the planet rather that being of and belonging to the earth during our lifetime. I even just watched a windshield wipers commercial where the product's slogan is "Outsmart the elements." If that is really what our ideology has become, the shift to becoming more sustainable human begins will take time, awareness, and immense action. So it is this mindset that we are trying to change along with more awareness and productivity in humanity to live in total balance with the natural earth.
