What is Sustainability?

Before we can understand if we want to pursue a future in career centered on sustainability we ought to have a good idea of what sustainability is. The US Environmental Protection Agency provides some definitions and resources to help answer these questions on their Learn About Sustainability resources page.

I especially appreciate Strategic Approaches as opportunities to learn more about things I can do myself and career ideas within sustainability. For instance, the Sustainable Marketplace provides all sorts of ideas for how to intersect employment, career and sustainability.
