Why is Sustainability Important?

Sustainability is defined as, “the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level.” There are three pillars of sustainability, the economy, society, and the environment.

Environmental quality is key to maintaining a healthy community. In the past few centuries, humans became exponentially detrimental to the environment. A recent scientific study determined that even if greenhouse gas emissions were reduced to zero global warming would still not end.

You may be wondering “What can we do to help?”

There is a common saying that “every little bit helps.” This is where we come in. Whether we are washing fruits, adjusting the thermostat, or simply brushing our teeth, there are steps we can, and should, take to make ourselves more environmentally sustainable. By doing so our actions, no matter how small, will have a lasting impact on the world.
