What is Sustainability?
Sustainability is a term that has become increasingly important in our modern world. It is the
ability to continue using resources without depleting them or causing harm to the environment
for future generations. It means meeting today's needs without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs, and this involves a balance between
environmental protection, social equity, and economic viability.
Environmental
Social
Protecting natural resources,
reducing pollution, and
preserving biodiversity. For
example, by using renewable
energy sources such as solar or
wind power instead of limited
fossil fuels.
Promoting fair treatment, safe
workplaces, and equal
opportunities for everyone.
This includes access to fair
wages, quality education, and
healthcare for all.
Economic
Developing systems that are
profitable in the long term
that create value for society
without damaging the
environment. E.g a company
could become profitable
while reducing its
environmental impact
through efficient practices.

Bamboo makes Fantastic Plastic!
Regular, oil-based plastic can take centuries to biodegrade,
damaging the environment & harming wildlife. Bamboo on the
other hand, can biodegrade in just 50 days!
Scientists in china, created it by using a non-toxic alcohol to
dissolve bamboo down using molecules, then reassembling
them to form a tough plastic material.
Research has shown that the strength of the bamboo matches
traditional plastics and its stability is even better! It can be
shaped just as easily, and recycled and used to make similar
products whilst maintaining nearly all of its original strength.
