Sustainability is the study of how can we lessen our impact on the earth and help increase the quality of life for everyone. It focuses on the idea of reducing emissions or even getting rid of fossil fuels all together. It also focuses on doing things such as recycling and reducing the consumption of goods. It also deals with the idea of increasing the quality of life of the poor and tries to encourage their employers to increase their wages so they can support their families comfortably. To me this all sounds like a bunch of hippie nonsense. It could be because I’m an asshole, or that I take apathy to the highest degree, but I could care less about any of this stuff. In my opinion as long as we improve our technology to the point where food cloning and solar energy, there won’t be any problems at all. The aid won’t come from people preaching that we should consume less, why don’t we just produce more, and then everyone can get what they want. Even if it comes to the point where all our resources have been depleted, then by that time we will probably just move to a new one. I’m almost certain that once we find new life on other planets that resources won’t be an issue anyway. Also regardless all of this tuff won’t really work unless everyone participates, but all these things are so political that most corrupt and poor governments won’t listen to it.

I loved this learning module. I thought it was very informational on what exactly sustainability is. I had no idea is encompasses so many different parts of the structure of the world. It definitely made me think about what I can do to decrease my ecological footprint.
