To me, sustainability is more than just ‘people, planet, profit’. Though this is a succinct definition of sustainability, I believe it is crucial to also take into consideration other factors<\/span> – <\/span>including the rights and dignity of the most marginalized, including indigenous peoples and rural communities. To me, sustainability includes interdependence, cosmopolitanism, equity, and anti-racism<\/strong>. I like the image we discussed in class, as this incorporates the idea of ‘people, planet, profit’, but goes further by explaining the way these factors intersect, namely bearable, equitable, and viable.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the twenty<\/span>–<\/span>five images in the document the following image least represents my idea of sustainability:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I believe this image only takes into account the economic and environmental aspect of sustainability. To me, the image mainly focuses on the role of money in sustainability, and fails to address such factors as interdependence, and equity for traditionally marginalized peoples.<\/p>\n

T<\/span>here are a few images that I believe explain sustainability in a comprehensive way. This image in particular I like, because it alludes to interdependence and cosmopolitanism:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Particularly, it shows the importance of taking responsibility in living a sustainable life, and the obligation everyone has in caring for the planet, and all that encompasses. Additionally, I think this images provides a good example of collaboration between different peoples, cultures, and countries. It shows that by<\/span> working<\/span> together towards a common goal, for example through partnerships, the international community can work towards more sustainability globally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another image that explains sustainability in a comprehensive manner is this image:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I believe this image best represents sustainability, as it incorporates the<\/span> United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I believe the UN SDGs provide a good framework to consider sustainability, as these goals show the interdependence within the field of sustainability. Not only does this image encompass people, planet, and prosperity, it also focuses on partnerships, dignity, and justice. Specifically, factors such as dignity and justice are crucial to consider when working towards equitable sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
