Sustainability The Aboriginals were sustainable because they tried to only use what they needed and they did not waste. For example if they killed a bear they would eat the meat, use the skin for clothes, get money by selling it and they would also use it for decoration.

Sustainability

Today lots of people don't care about our world and they are not being sustainable. For example if you have ever seen someone smoke a cigarette when they finish it they don't realize that there doing something wrong and so they throw it on the ground in stead of throwing it out in the garbage. In the future we can be sustainable if we care about the world and we don't litter.

Sustainability Sustainability is important because if no one would be sustainable then in the future the world would be a mess with garbage everywhere. Also not being sustainable means wasting and that would also be bad because if we wasted too much of stuff that we need then when we really need it the thing will be gone and then we couldn't have as much stuff that we need.
