Sustainability Explained Simply: How to Build a Better Future - 3 Min Video

Video Description:

Sustainability is about making sure future generations can live well. It means using the earth’s resources wisely so they do not run out. The United Nations defines sustainable development as meeting today’s needs without harming the future.

Think of it like a bathtub. If you use water faster than you add it, the water level goes down. The same happens with trees, fish, and clean air. When we take too much, nature cannot recover. That is why we see forests shrinking, fish disappearing, and more pollution.

Sustainability is about balance. It is not about stopping everything. It is about using resources at a rate that keeps nature healthy. It also connects to people and money. If businesses only care about profit, they may damage the environment. If we only focus on nature, people may lose jobs. And if wealth is not shared, some will struggle while others thrive.

This idea is called the "Triple Bottom Line"—Environment, Economy, and Equity. All three must work together for a better life. When you buy a phone, it affects miners who dig up materials. When companies make products, they impact the planet. Every choice connects to something bigger.

Learning about sustainability helps us make better decisions. A small change, like using less plastic, can make a big difference. By thinking long-term, we can create a future where both people and nature thrive. Watch this video to learn more!
