Sustainability

Even the tiniest action toward sustainability makes a difference.

What is sustainability? It's living in such a way that everyone on the planet, and everyone in the next generation not yet born, can enjoy the earth just as much as we can.

Pondering what this means, I realise that I am still a million miles from this goal. I recycled all my incandescent bulbs and bought and installed 30 compact flourescent ones. But everyone in the world can't do that, I mean not only would we have to build more glass factories, but we'd need hundreds or thousands of additional power plants to power 100 billion additional bulbs.
