The Lexicon of Sustainability
What is Sustainability?
Season 1
Episode 15
Everything we do has consequences, even when hidden from view. Sustainability imbues all of us, as either consumers or producers, with a clear sense of responsibility. It gives us the opportunity to change how we think, what we make, and what we buy—and confirms that our actions matter; reinforcing that we are both the cause and the solution of that which ails us as a society.
