The key word is SUSTAINABILITY.
SUSTAINABILITY
- We are completely dependent on nature;
- The earth is a system and everything is connected: environment, society and economy;
- Environmental sustainability is responsibly interacting with the planet to maintain natural resources and avoid compromising the ability for future generations to meet their needs.
To live sustainably we need to follow the 4 care instructions:
I
Reduce our dependence on fossil fuels
II
Reduce our dependence on synthetic chemicals that pollute nature
III
Reduce our destruction of nature
IV
Ensure that we’re not stopping people globally from meeting their needs → 17% of the population consumes 80% of the resources!!
