Sustainability to me means taking a whole system’s approach in the decisions that we make. I think there are various considerations that need to be considered including economic, environmental, and social consequences as we try to create a sustainable system. One of the best aspects of sustainability is the level of cooperation it demands between different ways of thinking and functioning. The main takeaway from sustainability is about exploring the potential interconnectedness between systems.

Another takeaway of sustainability for me is recognizing how humanity depends on nature and so far, we have created detrimental systems towards nature. A huge part of sustainability is how can we exist in a natural feedback loop that doesn’t result in the destruction of the planet.
