Sustainability – The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines sustainability as: “Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment.” However, in 2000, the Earth Charter approved by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) expanded the definition of sustainability to include human rights and other societal causes stating: “We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace.”
