Preferred term

sustainable living  

Definition

  • Sustainable living describes a movement to implement the principles of sustainability through individual and societal choices about consumption and production. The idea of sustainable living is linked to, but predates, the now familiar idea of sustainable development—the ability to satisfy current needs without reducing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs—popularized by the Brundtland Commission in 1987.
