Your homework for Tuesday, 29 Sept:
Write up a short definition of what the word sustainability means, in your opinion.
To get started, It may help you to think about the two parts of the word: sustain|ability.
Also, it might be helpful to think small. You don’t have to include the whole planet in your definition. Just think about what sustainability means with regard to your own household, your budget and your lifestyle.
And please don’t just copy text from the internet.
Write 1-3 sentences in your own words.
