Sustainability
susĀ·tain: suh-steyn / verb used with object
1. to support, hold, or bear up from below. 2. to keep up or keep going, as an action or process: to sustain the environment.
The most popular definition of sustainability can be traced to a 1987 UN conference. It defined sustainable developments as those that meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs (WECD, 1987). Robert Gillman, editor of the In Context magazine, extends this goal oriented definition by stating sustainability refers to a very old and simple concept (The Golden Rule)...do onto future generations as you would have them do onto you.
