Impacts

How the product effects the Environment

In a world of finite resources, society must learn to manage its capital of resources sustainably, protecting them from degradation (pollution) and depletion, ensuring (green) renewal as needed, so that society's general welfare is ensured and the capital available to future generations remains intact.

What we do has an impact on others and the world: Humans and the societies they live in provide the basis for sustainable development. Therefore, to ensure that human and social capital is preserved for the future and that no one is left behind, there is a need to invest in both humans to ensure universal access to education, health, and other basic services and provide/maintain the required social framework of supporting institutions (schools, hospitals, universities, research and art centers, transport systems, etc.)

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

SDGs being worked towards by the seller

Sustainability starts with recognizing that we live in a world of finite resources in which unbridled economic growth driven by personal profit is no longer possible. Continual growth is not good and bigger is not better, if it risks causing harm to the ecological and human systems.

Sustainability implies "sustainable development", an economic model that seeks to achieve a balance between satisfying the needs of the present population without compromising that of future generations.
