What is Sustainability?
From internet research
Sustainability is the ability to maintain a certain process or state. It is now most frequently used in connection with biological and human systems. In an ecological context, sustainability can be defined as the ability of an ecosystem to maintain ecological processes, functions, biodiversity and productivity into the future.
Sustainability has become a complex term that can be applied to almost every facet of life on Earth, particularly the many different levels of biological organization, such as; wetlands, prairies and forests and is expressed in human organization concepts, such as; eco-municipalities, sustainable cities, and human activities and disciplines, such as; sustainable agriculture, sustainable architecture and renewable energy.

Sustainability would be the topice we have to discuss and apply in IENV3000. In my opinion, the basic idea of sustainability is that can be use in environment content. I have noticed that saving energy is the most important point in sustainability. From class example, the purpose of energy tree and LED rope are all designing for saving energy like how much you have used and is that overdo or not. Therefore, in the course we have to really understand what is sustainability mean and could be apply in our design porject through semester.
