What is sustainability?
According to the Brundtlant commission of the United Nations a “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. We strive to create solutions and to provides ideas that improve the chances and likelihood of a sustainable development. We apply the Triple Bottom Line to judge if our ideas contribute to a sustainable development. The triple bottom line divides sustainable development into three pillars; economic, social and environmental. And to create a sustainable world, we need all those three to intersect.
What does this imply? If you have any idea of how to improve something that exist in the environmental, economic or social side you improve the chances of a sustainable world! So, even if you have, what you think is, a very small idea of how to improve our daily life it is enabling a sustainable development, and suitable to submit to us.
A sustainable world requires social, environmental and ecconomic sustainability
