Sustainability: definition with simple natural science

What is sustainability? In this explainer video, I present a simple definition of sustainability based on environmental science and natural cycles, as well as the four root causes of un-sustainability (the 4 things we need to stop doing for become sustainable).

We hear a lot about sustainable development, sustainability, ecology, climate, global warming, people planet profit, triple bottom line but can we define what sustainability is and how we can achieve it?

A sustainability definition is important in order for people to speak the same language and make sure they are all working to achieve the same goals. This sustainability definition is inspired from the sustainability principles put together but an international non-profit organization called The Natural Step. Another sustainability definition is the one provided by the Brundtland commission: sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations

Really love your work. I was wondering which parts of the system being unbalanced do you see see carbon emissions and climate change sitting?

THAT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE BEGINNING TO INCORPORATE SOLAR ENERGY INTO YOUR MODEL, YOU SHOULD ALSO INCORPORATE POPULATION DENSITY AND GOVERNMENT WASTE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE TWO MULTIPLIERS ON THE WHOLE MESS, WITH CLEAN ECOLOGICALLY LIBERTARIAN GOVERNMENTS AND LOWER POPULATIONS, THE PROBLEMS WOULD ALL FADE AWAY OVER TIME.

I cant find the name of the Swedish doctor who said the scientific definition and gathered the 50 scientists.

Hi! I really like your video! I watched it multiple times, really good quality! I'm passionate about creating digital presentations and I would like to create one that similar to yours. Can you share with me what kind of program or devices did you use to create it? Is it maybe reMarkable the paper tablet? I was considering buying it. Thanks in advance ☺️
