Sustainability: definition with simple natural science

What is sustainability? In this explainer video, I present a simple definition of sustainability based on environmental science and natural cycles, as well as the four root causes of un-sustainability (the 4 things we need to stop doing for become sustainable).

We hear a lot about sustainable development, sustainability, ecology, climate, global warming, people planet profit, triple bottom line but can we define what sustainability is and how we can achieve it?

A sustainability definition is important in order for people to speak the same language and make sure they are all working to achieve the same goals. This sustainability definition is inspired from the sustainability principles put together but an international non-profit organization called The Natural Step. Another sustainability definition is the one provided by the Brundtland commission: sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations

[@ruthholley-mcnab8935]

Really love your work. I was wondering which parts of the system being unbalanced do you see see carbon emissions and climate change sitting?

[@assar58]

Great tutorials! But what sources are you using?

[@learnsustainability]

assar58 Thanks for your comment. The content of this video comes from the research by Swedish doctor Karl-Henrik Robèrt (founder of The Natural Step). You can find a lot of information about him and the organization online www.thenaturalstep.org. He wrote dozens of scientific articles, he created a consensus among scientists on what first order principles for sustainability would be. There also has been several books written about The Natural Step (for business, for communities) that you can find online. Please don't hesitate if you have more questions.

Hi! I really like your video! I watched it multiple times, really good quality! I'm passionate about creating digital presentations and I would like to create one that similar to yours. Can you share with me what kind of program or devices did you use to create it? Is it maybe reMarkable the paper tablet? I was considering buying it. Thanks in advance ☺️

[@learnsustainability]

Thanks! I did a video explaining how I do them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4TLqoyQr5Vonbs Please feel free to check it out and let me know if you have more questions.

[@feralbluee]

p.s. i also didn’t realize i knew those two Laws of Thermodynamics. LOL isn’t there a third? i’m going to look it up. :)

[@learnsustainability]

I am glad you liked it. This is the very first video I created because I was just like you the first time it was presented to me, I thought it made total sense :-)

[@Lovesick-x-Prince]

Anyone else from their environmental class

[@AhmedAlaa-nd2jc]

I cant find the name of the Swedish doctor who said the scientific definition and gathered the 50 scientists.

[@learnsustainability]

His name is Karl-Henrik Robèrt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Henrik_Rob%C3%A8rt

[@rahafmohammed5715]

i want a description of this video

[@RonPaulgirls]

THAT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE BEGINNING TO INCORPORATE SOLAR ENERGY INTO YOUR MODEL, YOU SHOULD ALSO INCORPORATE POPULATION DENSITY AND GOVERNMENT WASTE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE TWO MULTIPLIERS ON THE WHOLE MESS, WITH CLEAN ECOLOGICALLY LIBERTARIAN GOVERNMENTS AND LOWER POPULATIONS, THE PROBLEMS WOULD ALL FADE AWAY OVER TIME.

[@anenedziam1885]

Este video es muy interesante, para ayudar en el objetivo de Sustainability Illustrated, fue traducido al español en kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaG4Y4KAed-liKM, por el Baúl de Sostenibilidad para que los hispanohablantes tengan acceso a esta valiosa publicación. Que opinan?

[@PubicGore]

You so obviously have no idea what you're talking about when explaining thermodynamics or the conservation of mass.
