The "path forward" outlined by Dr. Anastas makes the goal of sustainability one of ORD's long-term research objectives. EPA's People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) program selected fourteen college and university teams as awardees and an additional nine for honorable mention in its sixth annual competition. The winners were selected from 42 student teams that had received grants to design and build sustainable technologies that improve quality of life, promote economic development, and protect the environment.

Sustainability From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Achieving sustainability will enable the Earth to continue supporting human life as we know it. " Blue Marble " NASA composite images: 2001 (left), 2002 (right). Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology , the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Healthy ecosystems and environments provide vital goods and services to humans and other organisms. There are two major ways of reducing negative human impact and enhancing ecosystem services . The first is environmental management ; this approach is based largely on information gained from earth science environmental science , and conservation biology . The second approach is management of human consumption of resources, which is based largely on information gained from economics Sustainability interfaces with economics through the social and ecological consequences of economic activity. Sustainability economics involves ecological economics where social, cultural, health-related and monetary/financial aspects are integrated. Moving towards sustainability is also a social challenge that entails

Sustainability "Each generation has to solve its own tasks and not burden them onto the next generation - that is the basic concept of sustainable development. This explicitly includes the global perspective." [Gerhard Schröder, Preface to the 2004 Progress Report from the German Federal Government: "Perspektiven für Deutschland. Unsere Strategie für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung" (Perspectives for Germany. Our Strategy for Sustainable Development)] "It became increasingly small with increasing distance. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble - the most beautiful marble you could imagine". This is the manner in which James Irwin, Apollo 15 Mission astronaut, described the view of our plan e t. This view from space of "spaceship earth" has not just decisively conveyed knowledge of its beauty, but, above all, the awareness of its limitedness and homogeneity. Both aspects - the limitedness of the earth and its resources and the homogeneity within the global system, the reciprocal dependence of all system components - are decisive for the subject of sustainability. On the Term Sustainability The term sustainability originally stems from the forestry industry and stands for a form of woodland care in which the production power of the wood and the respective wood harvest are so harmonious that the largest possible yield of wood is achieved in the long-term, at the same time as not being detrimental to the earth and the location. Thus, for example, only as much wood is cut down as can regrow through replanting. A maxim can be formed here: Live from the yield, and not the substance! (

Ever increasing demands on resources, caused by human overpopulation, the impact of contemporary western lifestyles, expanding industrialisation, the huge disparity between rich and poor and other issues is bringing widespread degradation and destruction of the natural environment on which all life ultimately depends.

The issue is more complex, and will require a multi-modal approach that reaches across all sectors of society. Energy systems that reduce the impact of global warming are important, but alone they will not save the day. Recycling your cans is a great thing to do, but it will not save the world; a world where social conflicts result in wholesale destruction of ecological systems and human lives. Deeper examination reveals that the core of this difficult challenge is fear. It is because of fear that we withhold food, shelter, clothing, comfort and other essentials from those who need it most. Ultimately what we need is love and compassion for our fellow humans and the other beings who share this planet. Ultimately what is required is a broader perspective that is not limited by fear or desire. Interestingly, it is our fears and desires which we think ensure our security, but which actually are the seeds of our angst and unhappiness. Fearful, unhappy people will chose actions of violence and destruction. It does not have to be so. Buddha referred to this situation as attachment to sources of suffering. First we can choose non-suffering and non-attachment; we can choose love, compassion and freedom. This is freedom from suffering, freedom from patterns of fear and denial.

What is sustainability? present and future generations of Americans Common to both the public policy and business perspectives is recognition of the need to support a growing economy while reducing the social and economic costs of economic growth. Sustainable development can foster policies that integrate environmental, economic, and social values in decision making. From a business perspective, sustainable development favors an approach based on capturing system dynamics, building resilient and adaptive systems, anticipating and managing variability and risk, and earning a profit. Sustainable development reflects not the trade-off between business and the environment but the synergy between them. Top of page What is EPA doing? In its early days, EPA acted primarily as the nation's environmental watchdog, striving to ensure that businesses met legal requirements in the area of pollution control. Implementing these pollution control regulations required large investments in time, money, and other resources.
