SUSTAINABILITY

Key Words

Sustainability to me can be one of two things. The first is the concept or notion of humans and buildings being able to sustain life and function through the use of the local resources without exhausting them. This notion has been around for much of history in my opinion, in one way or another different civilizations have showcased the desire and care to preserve their surroundings and the earth that provides for them. The second idea is that sustainability is a movement in which people are concerned with earths ability to provide natural resources to sustain life. This movement in my opinion has been focused on the resources of the earth and the local environments from which the lives are sustained.
