WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY?
Sustainability is the skill to provide for the needs of the world's current population without negatively influencing the ability of future generations to provide for themselves.
Sustainability/sustainable development refers to doing something (e.g. Mining, Farming, etc.) with the long term in mind. Today's decisions are made with a consideration of sustaining our activities into the long term future.
When a process is sustainable, it can be carried out over and over without negative environmental effects or impossibly high costs to anyone involved.

What tools and legislation do we have to ensure that we operate within a framework of sustainability? Are we doing enough to become globally sustainable?
