Sustains: encourages, endures, holds up, nourishes, supports. Sustainable living provides a nourishing environment for life in a renewable cycle that supports life today and preserves natural resources for future generations of life. Sustainable living conserves an ecological balance by minimising the depletion of natural resources. The three R's - Reduce, re-use and recycle can be used as a guide toward sustainable living. The goal of this category is to help individuals live a more sustainable lifestyle through the application of small steps which may be taken a bit at a time, eventually resulting in large impacts.
