Sustainability & Me
The word sustainability is derived from the Latin sustinere (tenere, to hold; sus, up). Dictionaries provide more than ten meanings for sustain, the main ones being to "maintain", "support", or "endure". However, since the 1980s sustainability has been used more in the sense of human sustainability on planet Earth and this has resulted in the most widely quoted definition of sustainability and sustainable development, that of the Brundtland Commission of the United Nations: "sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." It is usually noted that this requires the reconciliation of environmental, social and economic demands - the "three pillars" of sustainability.
My strong belief in a sustainable world made me to think and bring innovative solutions in action.
