What is Sustainable Living? 

Sustainable living is a lifestyle which reduces a household or business’s use of natural resources. This is done in an attempt to lower a person’s carbon footprint by altering their methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet.  People who want to live in natural balance with Earth’s natural ecology conduct their lives with the awareness and philosophy of how human activity can affect the rest of the world.   

This practice will help to preserve the Earth for future generations of all life forms, or as it has been expressed - as "(to meet) the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Sustainable living in the 21st century means a shift toward a renewable energy-based, reuse/recycle economy with a focus on diversified transport system. Part of this shift also addresses self-sufficiency and the ability of individuals (or societies) to consume only what they produce.
