What does education have to do with making the shift toward a sustainable future?
A practice (or set of practices) is unsustainable when it undermines the health of the very systems upon which it depends and therefore cannot be continued or sustained over time. The practice of spending more money than you earn cannot be sustained over time without adverse consequences. Eating too much without exercising enough undermines the health of the body.
