We are presently experiencing serious environmental problems that will only get worse with time - if no efforts are made to correct them. This is of concern because we are being negatively affected. How can these problems be corrected? By being better stewards of the planet - using resources in a way that ensures there will be enough for everyone and keeps environmental harm to a minimum. This will require rethinking how things are done and for governments, business, and other institutions around the world to follow through so living sustainably is a viable option for everyone. Each of us has the power to make things at least a little better just by making changes in our day-to-day lives and setting an example others can follow. Ultimately, it will be necessary for societies to adopt sustainable practices.1 Having a livable future depends on it.
