| There is now abundant scientific [[evidence]] that [[humanity]] is living unsustainably. Returning human use of natural resources to within sustainable limits will require a major collective effort. Since the 1980s, human sustainability has implied the integration of economic, social and environmental spheres to: “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”[1] Efforts to live more sustainably can take many forms from reorganising living conditions (e.g., ecovillages, eco-municipalities and sustainable cities), reappraising [[economic]] sectors (green building, sustainable agriculture), or [[work]] practices (sustainable [[architecture]]), using [[science]] to develop new technologies (green technologies, renewable [[energy]]), to adjustments in [[individual]] lifestyles.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability] | | There is now abundant scientific [[evidence]] that [[humanity]] is living unsustainably.
