What is Sustainable Lifestyle

If people continue to live the way they are, we will soon run out of our natural resources. Even the availability of oxygen could be a challenge. Unless you are one of those who is planning to live on Mars or some other planet. There are greater chances that we and our future generations will eventually live in a world where it will be hard to find resources. Water shortages, food insecurities, and clean air unavailability will become a norm.

The growing human population, urbanization, and consumerism have accentuated the pace at which our limited resources are depleting. In addition, the extensive use of fossil fuels is contributing to the rapid increase in levels of carbon emissions in the atmosphere, which is leading to climate change, weather vagaries, and rising temperatures.

One of the biggest reasons for environmental degradation is that people don’t really think about the consequences of their actions. While we can blame it on the government, businesses, or our neighbors, the fact is that most of the products are used by people like me and you.

What is the solution?

The other thing which we can do is to value our existing resources, reuse them as many times as possible and not waste them. If we are able to achieve it, we will be living a sustainable lifestyle.
