What exactly is sustainability? Simply put, sustainability is about changes we can make to help look after the planet. Making these changes helps protect animals, plants, and our environment’s natural resources.
With Planet Earth being home to more than 7 billion people, there are a lot of the planet’s resources being used every day.
Sustainability gives us ways to protect and conserve the environment. In this episode, we discuss a simple way we can all make a difference to help the planet!
