What is Sustainability

[cindyy.]

I am Cindy Wahyu Ningsih from the English language education program at Pasir Pengaraian University. this is my duty.

Sustainability is a societal goal that relates to the ability of people to coexist safely on Earth over the long or into the future. Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that seeks to reduce the use of the Earth's natural resources by individuals or communities.
With the increasing needs of the human population will wipe out other species in the ecosystem. In addition to natural resources, humans also need economic resources.
simply put, sustainability is about our children and grandchildren, how we live today so they can thrive in future generations.
Thank 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.

[ershadahmmed]

Sustainability, according to the Brundtland Commission, is "meeting present needs without compromising ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This definition of sustainability is very similar to mine: it refers to the continued use of natural resources while taking into account the needs of future generations and maintaining equity, economic efficiency, and environmental integrity.

How is sustainability of environment, economy & equity possible when the definition of sustainability is defined by satisfying HUMAN needs, which are defined by human demand for goods/resources, which in turn are tied to to human population growth rates? For example, bamboo is considered a sustainable resource because it grows fast and aggressively enough to keep up with human needs. It's an amazing plant species, however, because it grows SO aggressively, it outcompetes and displaces most other plant species in the area it's growing (as do so many aggressive weed species, which is why they're considered weeds) and thereby compromises/eliminates the biodiversity that existed in the area before bamboo overran it. At the same time bamboo's aggressive growth rate answers the growing needs of human populations for fiber, building materials, etc., it's very aggression wipes out many other species that depend on a diverse ecosystem, and cannot live where a single species has taken over. If human needs can only be satisfied by such aggressive species, that is not a sustainable system, as it destroys biodiversity. No one seems to want to discuss human population reduction, but to achieve true sustainability for future generations of ALL SPECIES -- in which the biodiversity is paramount -- I believe human "needs"/demand may have to somehow be kept in check. Thank you.

Sustainability is about humans meeting their needs in future generations by using resources such as animals and plants. With the increasing needs of the human population, it will destroy other species in their ecosystems.
In addition to natural resources, humans also need economic resources.
So simply put, sustainability is about our children and grandchildren, how we live today so they can thrive in future generations.

THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF SUSTAINABILITY
The environmental movement is supported by national and international political powers, but the movement is more than just political. In the past century, New Age worship of the planet has become popular, providing another reason to accept the sustainability paradigm. Here are several of the ways Earth worship is being propagated:
The Gaia Hypothesis
In the 1960s, scientist Dr. James Lovelock formulated the Gaia Hypothesis, a theory suggesting that Earth and its physical components are a living system that work together in harmony. Lovelock says this:
"You may find it hard to swallow the notion that anything as large and apparently inanimate as the Earth is alive. Surely, you may say, the Earth is almost wholly rock, and nearly all incandescent with heat. The difficulty can be lessened if you let the image of a giant redwood tree enter your mind. The tree undoubtedly is alive, yet 99% of it is dead."
.
"The Gaia hypothesis...suppose(s) that the atmosphere, the oceans, the climate, and the crust of the Earth are regulated at a state comfortable for life because of the behavior of living organisms. Specifically, the Gaia hypothesis said that the temperature, oxidation state, acidity and certain aspects of the rocks and waters are at any time kept constant, and that this homeostasis is maintained by active feedback processes operated automatically and unconsciously by the biota. Solar energy sustains comfortable conditions for life. The conditions are only constant in the short term and evolve in synchrony with the changing needs of the biota as it evolves. Life and its environment are so closely coupled that evolution concerns Gaia, not the organisms or the environment taken separately."
.
Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis completely contradicts the truth about the planet as written in Genesis 1. Gaia supports the theory of evolution, as well as suggesting that the earth is dominant over humanity, instead of the Biblical paradigm of God giving humankind the right and responsibility of dominating the planet.
.
Gaia has sparked many Earth-worshiping groups and events, such as Gaianism and sacred evolution, the Gaian Mind Summer Festival, Gaian Voices, and Gaian Tarot.
.
As journalist Joan Veon tells us, the Gaia hypothesis has even come to popularity in world politics:
"In 1992, what the United Nations did was, they perverted, inverted, that truth, and they basically said man was no longer dominant over the earth, but the earth was dominant over man. They said that we, as men, as living human beings, were equal to the plants and the animals. And so, what Gaia really is, is paganism. So, we now have the United Nations espousing a pagan religion and they are trying to make it equal for each one of us and therefore stamp out the validity and personhood of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the savior of the world."
.
"UNCED, also called the earth Summit, was an unveiling of the philosophical shift from the Judeo-Christian world view to Gaia...With the adoption of sustainable development at UNCED, man was demoted to the same level as a plant or animal."
.
The United Nations is working towards not only a global government, but also a global religion: the New Age, which is espoused perfectly in the Earth-worship involved in the sustainability movement.
.
Humanism
The increasingly popular doctrine of humanism agrees with Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis:
"First: Religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created.
.
Second: Humanism believes that man is a part of nature and that he has emerged as the result of a continuous process...
.
Man is at last becoming aware that he alone is responsible for the realization of the world of his dreams, that he has within himself the power for its achievement."
.
Corliss Lamont, in his book The Philosophy of Humanism, says this:
"For his great achievements man, utilizing the resources and the laws of Nature, yet without Divine aid, can take full credit. Similarly, for his shortcomings he must take full responsibility. Humanism assigns to man nothing less than the task of being his own saviour and redeemer."
.
UNCED and The Earth Charter
In 1992, the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. According to historian David Livingstone, the Conference included many elements of New Age Earth worship:
"The summit was described by Time magazine as a “New Age carnival.”
.
On the eve of the UNCED, a midnight-to-dawn homage to the “Female Planet” was held on Leme Beach. After dancing all night, the worshipers followed a Brazilian high priestess to the water’s edge, where they offered flowers and fruits to the Voodoo mother goddess.
.
Baha'i believer Maurice Strong, UNCED's Secretary-General, was instrumental in the creation of The Earth Charter, which came to fruition in 2000. He made it clear that there is a spiritual agenda in the environmental movement:
"Maurice Strong hinted at the overtly pagan agenda proposed for a future Earth Charter, when in his opening address to the Rio Conference delegates he said, “It is the responsibility of each human being today to choose between the force of darkness and the force of light.” And, he said, “We must therefore transform our attitudes and adopt a renewed respect for the superior laws of divine nature.” According to Strong, “The real goal of the Earth Charter is that it will in fact become like the Ten Commandments.”
.
Joan Veon tells us that New Age leaders Alice Bailey and Helena Blavatsky often used the terms "force of darkness" and "force of light."
.
"Their writings state that the "force of darkness" are those who adhere to the "out-dated" Judeo-Christian faith; those who continue along their "separative" paths of the one true God."
.
The "force of light" (Lucifer), in their view, is the inclusive new age doctrine of a pagan pantheistic New World Religion. In the New Age of Aquarius there will be no room for the "force of darkness" and "separativeness."
.
It's clear that sustainability and environmentalism are not only about caring for the earth, but about political control and New Age spirituality.
.
David Livingstone sums it up this way:
"The environmental movement, while helping to advance the cause of the oil industry, is an extension of the Aquarian conspiracy, incepted by Alice Bailey, designed ultimately to foster the acceptance a one-world-religion, based on the occult, or the New Age, as it is called."

Sustainability is a development process that optimizes the benefits of natural resources and human resources, by harmonizing natural resources with humans in development.
The 3 pillars of sustainability are environmental, economic and social. However, social sustainability in particular has the aim of strengthening the cohesion and stability of certain social groups.
There are many benefits of sustainability, both short term and long term. One of the importance of being sustainable is that we cannot sustain our Earth's ecosystems or continue to function the way we do if more sustainable choices are not made. If these hazardous processes were maintained unchanged, we would likely run out of fossil fuels, large numbers of animal species would become extinct, and the atmosphere would be irreversibly damaged.

Clean air and non-toxic atmospheric conditions, the growth of reliable resources, and water quality and cleanliness are all benefits of sustainability. Sustainable is the key to a better future. Humans rely on natural resources for business, activity and survival. Ignoring sustainability can lead to the depletion of natural resources.

By applying this one concept the need for the next generation will be kept safe. The concept of sustainability is a concept that provides so much good and positive impact on the environment and the people in it
Sustainable development is development that meets today's needs without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

I got this for :) | 5/5 video, very easy to understand

Sustainability is development the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations. So put simply, the sustainability is about our kids and our grankids. How we do live today so that they can drive and future generations can also have a good life.

Thanks for helping me with my geography homework!

This is vital TERM because it is ONE MODEL OF PLANTY DISCIPLINES and how to integrate it with multitasking management but with empathy as well.

[DylanL]

everyone in the United States needs to watch this

[johanverink]

Without ONE numerical indicator, it will not be possible to focus sustainability! Energy, use and misuse is the cause of all, good and bad. So, the greenest energy is the energy we don't MISUSE.

[bxrooga]

The smartphone(or any product) was already made before you decided to buy it so it is not the consumer that made the impact. however we do contribute on how we waste.

[karlwheatley]

The video is very confusing because it mushes together the cash economy and equity with the environment, and ecological sustainability is just about staying within Earth's ecological limits.

[thepeopleplaceandnaturepod]

I appreciate you for sharing this informative and valuable content, and for the efforts you're putting towards building a sustainable future. ❤

[amritadixit]

thanks for the information and I would to thank because I am a student of class 6th and because of this video I can understand the meaning of sustainability
