Sustainability can both be a goal, and the means to reach it. It incorporates what is needed to curb the effects of climate change and it embraces the wisdom of indigenous people. Living sustainably, means to always take into account the generations coming after us, so that our planet still can be a beautiful and healthy home for them. Being aware of this, in all our decision making, makes for a hopeful future.

Sustainability factors include:

• Awareness and handling of migration
• Climate change effects
• Indigenous wisdom about living in relation to the land
• Organic agriculture
• Organic manufacturing
• Lesser transportation
• Getting basic needs met
• Efficient energy
• Affordable housing that is built to last and in harmony with the environment
• Acknowledging and appreciating the beauty of nature, including spending time in, with respect and curiosity
• Protecting cultural heritage sites
• Minimizing waste

So, to get a good reason to live sustainably, go outside, or look at movies and films showing places you feel mesmerised by, indulge in fresh produce, and think of how we can keep it like that. Maybe, you even would like to dance in its honor?
