What is sustainability for me: It is being able to support yourself without harming the environment, to make changes in your life in order to live better within what surrounds you.

Do you think you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?

I think I contribute a little bit because I own a house with solar panels, which create solar energy in order for me to use instead of actual energy, so I use natural light to power up my house, but that isn’t enough, I could do more.

What could you of your community do to contribute to sustainability?

We could buy organic food and stop using pesticides on food, instead of using fuel powered cars, using a bike to  transport ourselves, or at least, using electric power cars.

1.    What is Sustainability?

Here are many different views on what it is and how it can be achieved. The idea of sustainability stems from the concept of sustainable development which became common language at the World's first Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. Sustainability has often been defined as how biological systems endure and remain diverse and productive

2.    What does Sustainability mean for you?

I think sustainability means something that can supports by its own, thus, is something that can live in earth with out damaging the environment, this thing can live by its own, because of the natural resources, like water, heat …

3.    Do you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?

Yes, few years ago, we put on our house, types of windows that can multiply light by the form they were created. Also, my Dad is a member of a company that produce a type of turbines, that produce energy with natural gas, this turbines are sell to big companies that need to pay a lot of money for light.

4.    What could you or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability

Its easy, we all need to become aware of what is happening in our world, in this way, we can act on, and start with our houses and cars, now a days you can put solar panels or use electric cars, that don’t pollute our enviorment

What does sustainability mean to you?

The ability to sustain environment using resources to survive for example energy.

Do you think you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?

Not really, I personally do not contribute to a sustainable society, I would really like to be able to participate but in a city like ours, it is very complicated, we live in an industrial city and having a sustainable environment is very hard.

What could you, or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?

The hardest part of contributing to sustainability, in my opinion, is changing your routines and what you do everyday. Sustainability would complicate things to many people and another of the hardest parts in contributing is convincing other people to take part in it. But there are many ways to contribute, such as using natural light throughout the day instead of artificial light. Doing carpools for school and work and simply placing trash in the proper recycling bins. People are simply lazy and careless, that is why transitioning our community to a sustainable one is basically impossible if it is not implemented on the new generations.

What is sustainability?

According to the Global Footprints webpage, the term ‘sustainability’ doesn’t have an actual definition. But its idea comes from sustainable development, which means that with the help of our nowadays resources, such as technology, orientation, investments and wealth, we will make a brighter future.

What does sustainability mean to you?

It’s a way of reducing today’s problems for us not to worry about tomorrow.

Do you think you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?

I actually do, mainly through reducing, reusing and recycling; saving water and using solar panels for solar energy.

What could you, or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?

We could create campaigns to invite and let people know about global warming and its consequences. We could also use less water, carpools, use solar energy through solar panels, plant more trees and many more things. But we must be aware that creating a change begins with us, if we don’t do anything about it, then who will?

Another similar definition according to Sustainability Degrees, it refers to it as “the need to develop the sustainable models necessary for both the human race and planet Earth to survive.”

What does sustainability mean for you?

For me, sustainability means to protect our environment and keep it in the best conditions, at the same time creating new things that can help in the planet that keep the order of reusing reducing and recycling, in this way the future generations will be able to enjoy a healthy planet and not a super contaminated and polluted one.

Do you think you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?

Yes, I really keep in mind not to waste so much water for example when I shower, I try to be as fast as possible. Also by always turning the lights off whenever I leave a room. In recycling, I try to recycle the bottles of water that I have on my house and at the Tec since there are recycling trash cans I use them correctly.

What could you, or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?

Recycling most of all, while being at the Tec putting the trash can in the recycling trash cans correctly, start recycling also in our homes. Another good idea is to make carpools, cars really pollute so many people make carpools for many things like going to prepa or going to a party.

After reading more about what substantiality is I found out that I contribute in my community without even noticing it. I not only reuse my plastic bottles buy I also recycle them instead of throwing them away. I also have different trash cans at home where we separate: Plastic, paper and glass so in some way we can help the environment even if it’s just a little.

What could you or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?

What we can all do to contribute to sustainability is recycling and reusing to create less waste. Also by using less cars, doing carpools to create a safer environment for the future. And lastly by saving energy by not using all the light in our houses when they are not being used.

According to MIT, sustainability is the idea that economic, environmental, societal and personal systems need to be balanced and regenerative in order to pursue prosperous life for the people in the future.

http://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/what-is-sustainability/

What does sustainability mean for you?

For me, sustainability refers to the actions and practices that we can do nowadays in order to maintain an ecological balance, while thinking of the consequences of our future.

Do you think you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?

Yes, I do, since I save energy whenever I can and I try to prevent contaminating the atmosphere by putting the trash where it belongs and by doing carpool rides to decrease the usage of cars, but I still believe that I can do more.

What could you, or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?

I believe that in order to contribute to sustainability, people, first of all, need to be conscious of everything that’s going on in the environment in order to make a change. Once that is done, people need to start saving water and energy. And besides this, something really helpful is to recycle and to try and cut the use of the car or other automobiles that pollute our environment.

“Sustainability refers to the need to develop the sustainable models necessary for both the human race and planet Earth to survive” (http://www.sustainabilitydegrees.com/what-is-sustainability/). In other words, this term refers to the means you take to help the environment and reduce pollution problems that affect badly our planet. For me, sustainability is all about making Earth a better place to live, in terms of taking care of it, remaining it as alive as possible.

To achieve sustainability, there are 3 main aspects that are needed to be take care of:

1. Environmental protection: protect trees, animals, the air, not contaminate with cars nor trash, etc.

2. Social responsibility: make people conscious about this topic and gather everyone around to start making a good impact in the planet.

3. Economic practice: use every resource as possible (such as economic support) to make campaigns and other environmental projects to help step by step the planet.

If people really take seriously this previous details, I think we can create a safe and healthy environment in our planet, and making it a better place to live. The change starts with every single one of us, and later on the change will be spread.

Sustainability is the study of how the natural systems function. It produces everything it needs for the ecology to remain in balance. It is the need to develop the sustainable models necessary for both, human rance and planet earth to survive.

There are 3 pillars of sustainability:

-economic development: providing motive for businesses and other organizations to adhere to sustainability guidelines beyond their normal

-social development: awareness of and legislation protection of the health of people from pollution and other harmful activities

-environmental protection: what we need to do to protect the environment

-What does sustainability mean to you?

For me sustainability means to protect our natural environment, human and ecological health while innovating and using technology of the future. It is taking care of the earth for today and the future.

-Do you think you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?

I thought I didn’t contribute to sustainability at all but now that I research about it I realized that I do. I recycle paper, try to use less the car, save energy by having the lights off when I’m not using it and many little things that I thought it didn’t helped but little by little it does make a change.

-What could you, or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?

What society can make to contribute to sustainability is separating the trash in inorganic and organic, recycle stuff all the time, use carpooling to school instead of each one bringing their cars, saving energy by turning off the lights.

What is sustainability?

Definition:

The need to develop the sustainable models necessary for both the human race and planet Earth to survive.

For me, sustainability is the way that people around the world need to survive and live throughout. I think sustainability is the prevention of contamination and of things that can affect our lives in a negative way.

Yes, I try to have everything clean and to not waste food. I try my best to turn off the light when I’m not using it and as well with the air conditioner.

To contribute in sustainability, we need to take care about our world. One of the examples to help sustainability is by reducing the use cars by making a more effective route so there are less travels during the day. Also, one thing that is very important is to plant a tree in your house so we can reduce contamination and make the world more sustainable.

For me, sustainability is trying to find the perfect balance between you and the environment, is trying to maintain the word in good conditions so it will benefit us all in a near future instead of harming us in someway.
Do you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?
I believe in someways I do in fact contribute to making my community sustainable, for example I try to reduce the use of cars by carpooling in the mornings and sometimes in the afternoons. I promote recycling and throw the trash in corresponding places, I also tend to pick up others trash when it is in the floor.
What could you, or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?
I honestly think we can reduce the use of cars by promoting carpooling because many people live nearby and can easily ride together since they go to the same places at the same hours. Also support ecological materials, like using recycled paper, or buying eco friendly products. Finally simply throw the trash where it is supposed to be thrown and make a correct use of non recyclable materials like batteries.

According to Environmental Science, sustainability can have two meanings. It is how the environment works together to keep a balance in nature. Also, it is the discipline that some people acquire to understand more about environment and social sciences. The goal of sustainability is to protect our environment by informing us more about it. http://www.environmentalscience.org/sustainability

For me, sustainability is making a product that helps the environment by working by itself. For example, creating windmills is sustainability, because people created it so that i can work without the help of people. This way, the people can worry about creating more sustainable objects to protect our environment. I believe that my community needs more sustainability, mostly because right now we are facing a serious pollution problem. Currently, not many people are caring about having a better environment in our community. What we should do is take this issue seriously and start taking action. Even the smallest things we do, like picking up trash, can contribute to sustainability. And it is also important to inform ourselves about our environment so that we can take care of it.

"The term 'sustainability' should be viewed as humanity's target goal of human-ecosystem equilibrium (homeostasis), while 'sustainable development' refers to the holistic approach and temporal processes that lead us to the end point of sustainability."
Sustainability for me is to maintain the ecosystem, nature good, to stop pollution, and take care of animals, plants and all things that surround us.
I thin I don't contribute at all, it is something I don't think a lot about sustainability, but I will try to think more about it, and no just think it but to do something about it, like separating trash, into organic and inorganic, use less water, and things like that.

Sustainability is the study of how natural systems function, interact, and create what is needed for the ecology to remain balanced. It refers to the need of developing the models necessary so that society and the environment can thrive.
The Earth Charter includes in their definition of sustainability the idea of a global society "founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace".

For me, sustainability is getting what we need from the environment (natural resources, for example) in a way that benefits both parties and doesn't potentially harm the future. It is taking care of our environment and our society through responsible decisions, actions, and plans.

I think I do make sustainable choices sometimes by avoiding disposable packages, saving energy, recycling paper, and trying to be efficient with my means but I don't always consciously take care of the environment. For contributing to sustainability, we could all try to save energy, buy reusable food containers, avoid pre-packaged products, create facilities for recycling, make efficient use of paper, get natural resources responsibly, etc...

-What is sustainability (find a decent definition and cite it)?
"A process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations" -The World Commission on Environment and Development

-What does sustainability mean for you?
If I were to define sustainability with my own words I would say that sustainability is finding that balance between production and consumption, in a way that it is beneficiary for both the environment and us humans.

-Do you think you contribute to making your community a sustainable one?
I don't necessarily contribute consciously, however I do use the recycle bins, try not to litter, re-use water bottles instead of throwing them away. Although small actions, they all contribute into making my community a sustainable one.

-What could you, or people in your community do to contribute to sustainability?
Anything, as simple as using the recycle bins, to as big as working with companies and making recycle campaigns all over the city. The point is that everyone must do something, maybe if a single person recycles a water bottle it wouldn't have a big impact, but if ten thousand persons recycled a water bottle it would be different. The collective act of small actions from the community alone makes a difference in this world, but of course that doesn't mean we can't do better.
