What is sustainability?
The rhythm
of resource consumption is less than the natural resources to regenerate.
The rhythm
of emission of contamination and waste production is less than the environmental
capacity to absorb and process it.
The consumption
of non-renewable resources is less than human capabilities to effectively
implement alternative technologies to substitute this consumption in an identical
or higher proportion.
Improvements
in social justice and democracy.
Adapting to the
characteristics and conditions of different ecosystems.
Overcoming cultural
limitations, which link quality of life to possession of material goods and
the indiscriminate use of resources.
