sustainability food waste discussion environment

    In my opinion people of the world should be aware of the precise meaning of sustainability. Many people under look the word and assume that it is a form of "Lent", giving up pleasures in life; such as favorite foods, buying clothing, or getting an expensive car. But that definition is wrong and misunderstood, people need to be educated of sustainability to further help and prevent sustainability through out the world. Sustainability is being able to adapt to our world, take care and cope with issues on our planet. If people are uneducated of the subject then people will not be able to help others obtain our sustainability. I believe sustainability should be taught in schools around the globe; to educate the younger people of this issue. This would be a great way to help with sustainability.

    Erick you are absolutely correct; people need to start taking this problem more seriously! As our world ages the world changes and needs help to sustain our planet. Our planet is slowly dieing and needs our help to prevent it. But I cant help but wonder why people dont take it so seriously? Its a serious issue is not? So w\how come people dont care to notice?
