Sustainability

Sustainable Development is the ability to provide for current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Unsustainable technology

  • Uses resources that cannot be replaced
  • Produces wastes that cannot be broken down
  • Steals from the future to feed the present

Sustainable technology

  • Uses resources that are replaced regularly
  • Produces wastes that break down harmlessly
  • Protects the future
