Why be sustainable?

Sustainability-the capacity to endure
Welcome to Sustainable Youth, a blog all about how to be sustainable-even though you may be young. If your not sure what being sustainable actually means, it's simple! Throughout the past couple hundred years, humans have adapted, that's obvious. But in this we have also become consumers. People have become lazy, not wanting to fill up and carry around a reusable water bottle, we buy one at the closest Wawa. A much healthier way of living is the idea of sustainability, a concept that will help humans actually endure longer on the planet. Instead of working against the earths resources, we use them in healthier ways. Sure, it's easy to just leave your groceries in those plastic bags but it's a whole lot healthier to bring reusable bags. As teenagers, we need to learn these lessons earlier so that we can create a more healthy world.
