"What is Environmental Sustainability?"

(source: https://www.hnmagazine.com/2017/11/move-toward-environmental-sustainability/)

Environmental sustainability is the balance that is created through the relationship between the society and the nature that surrounds it and of which it is a part. This implies that people should achieve development results without threatening our natural resources and without compromising those of the future generations. In this sense, it is important to consider in the environmental aspect that being environmentally sustainable is a development that we want to pursue for us to help and maintain our nature. 

We are often in doubt as to how we can positively influence sustainable development to others. We must all understand that the problems that affect sustainability are not only restricted to the massive production of large companies for our necessities, one way or another, we all contribute to it.

Solutions to the problems that affect sustainable development should not be limited only to policies, strategies, and standards designed and established in companies, our individual actions can also contribute positively in sustainability, and what we need it everyone's commitment and awareness to achieve a truly sustainable development. 

Here are simple ways on how we can be environmentally sustainable:
