The process of <\/span>sustainability<\/a> can be defined as meeting today’s needs without harming the ability of future generations to meet their needs while also balancing economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being.<\/span><\/p>

For example, consider recycling. This sustainability initiative involves collecting and processing materials like paper, glass, plastic, and metal so they can be reused to create new products. By recycling, we reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, save natural resources, and reduce energy consumption.<\/span><\/p>
