- What do you understand by the term “sustainability”? (5 points)
Sustainability can be referred to as the reduction of harmful emissions to the environment by devising new technologies which are environmentally friendly. This means that any harm caused to the environment can be reversed with the introduction of an economic system whose aim is the provision of quality life by renewing the resources in the atmosphere (Emas 3).
