Yet the fact is that something is happening in our world, it is catastrophic and devastating, yet many turn their backs on the thought of becoming a sustainable society. Consumed by the here, now and the growth of the economy; nations neglect the future needs of their children, grandchildren or even great-grandchildren. It is difficult to become sustainable, yes but not impossible. It is profitable to become sustainable, yes, but not without some loss.

Sustainable societies are not a gimmick, they are a reality in some places in the world. Sustainability is a mix between wise use of resources and protection of the "quality of life", it is achieved by using natural resources sparingly, recycling or reducing and possibly interrupting the use of other non-renewable resources, to provide for our immediate needs, but also to preserve and protect the needs of the next generation and to improve the quality of all lives to come.

These are real, tangible needs that can be achieved by focusing on sustainability. Instead of focusing only on economic growth, nations should compare that growth with people's quality of life. C: Resources are limited. Especially the fossil fuels that we use wastefully. 1: We must limit the amount of fossil fuels we use and implement plans to conserve and preserve the other renewable resources we have. Without proper resource management we will lose lives, economies and nations.
