sustainability on the local level


1. Sustainability is the ability to maintain a certain process or state.
2. Sustainability in a community means the amount of energy and resources to keep their community going. People realized that they need to find other ways to survive and not depend on fossil fuel.
3. Demand for energy affects sustainable living because when those energy runs out people will have a hard time surviving because they mostly rely on it too much.
4. People can start working together and helping each other out in a community. Also people can go back to growing their own food and use the environment to help them survive. People need to stop taking the easy way out and not depend on others to supply them with energy.
