Sustainability refers to meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable living aims to reduce an individual's use of natural resources and dependence on them. As the environment's ecological balance degrades, switching to sustainable living helps make a lesser negative impact by reducing waste, reusing products, using less energy and water, and relying more on local resources and renewable energy.
