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 - Eric Conway

Sustainability is the long-term continuity of some process or function. In terms of environmental, social and economical sustainability  it is the endurance of the natural resources of earth at such a level that a high percentage of the species on earth can survive, while preserving the resources for future generations.
