Merici College Green Tip #20 - What is Sustainability?

What is Sustainability?

While carbon emissions reduction is significant in promoting sustainability, sustainability itself is much broader. 

It encompasses environmental, economic, and social aspects of life, with separate attention to every component in order to foster sustainability and long-term development while preserving a healthy planet for generations to come.
