This blog was originally based on a course ran by Professor Nick Gray of the Trinity Centre for the Environment at Trinity College Dublin who also wrote a textbook for the module Facing up to global warming: What is going on and what you can do about it. Now working as an independent consultant, Nick continues to work in the area of environmental sustainability and looking at ways of making a difference without recriminations or guilt. Saving the planet is all about living sustainably.

Personal Definition of Sustainability - Ian Teh

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Sustainability is the controlled consumption of resources to ensure timely renewability, achieved by innovation of science and technology to accommodate increasing demand, and the conservation of depleting slow-renewing resources.  It must ensure the preservation of the environment and the survivability of the human race and its way of life.
