ROAD TO SUSTAINABLE LIFE: THE GREEN FELLOWSHIP CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE LIFE
View in Fullscreen
Sustainable living is a lifestyle that encourages one to preserve natural resources to ensure its sufficiency for generations to come. Practicing sustainable living will eventually decelerate the depletion of natural resources and reduce environmental damages. Despite having lots of advantages, sustainable living is still considered radical. Therefore, we need to be determined and high-spirited in order to adapt to this lifestyle until it becomes part of daily routines and habits.
One of the key factors in sustainable living is preserving the environment. Albeit crucial, preserving the environment seems oblivious to certain groups of people. For instance, when choosing products at a grocery store, consumers tend to favour affordability and effectiveness without considering the environmental impacts, especially those that will take place in the long run. It is fair to say that this decision was made due to lack of knowledge and awareness.
