Sustainability is important for many reasons including environmental quality. In addition, in order to have healthy communities, we need clean air, natural resources, and a non-toxic environment. Healthcare and sustainability are intricately related to the quality of our environment affecting public health. Sustainability is being able to use the resources needed to survive without depleting them. We should care about it because if we don’t use our resources wisely they could run out and nobody will be able to use them. What I can do in order to low my ecological footprint is to switch to renewable energy, eat less meat, reduce my waste, and recycle responsibly.

Sustainability is how long something can be maintained at a certain level. Personally I have learned so much on the topic of sustainability and how I am actively involved with the idea of it, every single person on the planet can practice sustainability. For example I learned that avoiding things like recycling and proper waste management can have irreversible long term effects, and that mostly everything one does contributes to sustainability either negatively or positively, like driving or eating. I have taken strides myself to help remedy this by recycling more often and filtrating my waste properly. one can also lower their footprint by simply consuming less, whether its energy, food, basic materials like paper, just find ways to increase efficiency. Prior to this course I was blind to the urgency of the concept of sustainability but now I find myself actively participating in a positive manner.
