Sustainability Education Resources from Facing the Future | |
|
What is sustainability? Sustainability means meeting our own needs without limiting the ability of future generations to meet their needs. How do we know if something is sustainable? There are three main areas of sustainability: environment, society, and economy. To be sustainable, each of these elements should be in balance. Because the world is more connected every day, sustainability means considering the needs of the entire planet - and all 6.3 billion people on it.
Facing the Future: People and the Planet is a non-profit organization providing teachers, students, and the public with dynamic and successful global issues education and action opportunities to shape our future.
