What is sustainable living?

Sustainable living is living life while reducing the impact our lives has on our planet.  Sounds complicated? Simply put, to live with in sustainability is to exist in this planet without disturbing the delicate balance our lives has on the environment.

The recent issues regarding global warming point to human beings as one of the culprits as to why our planet is deteriorating.  We have more cars, take more resources from the earth, and create more garbage than all the other living organisms in this planet.

When we practice sustainable living, this means that we help reduce our ecological “footprint”.  We can do this by recycling our garbage, driving cars that use alternative fuel, planting trees and other eco-friendly activities.

The general rule when we say sustainable living is to not take more than what you need from the earth.  We have to understand that this world that we live in is a mega organism that responds to our needs, wants and demands.  And that those needs, wants and demands have an impact not only towards the other living things here but to our planet as well.
