Welcome to Oz Sustainable Living.
On this website you can follow our journey into sustainable living. We will discuss ideas and simple projects around the home which help everyone to live a more sustainable life and in the process, save money.
What is sustainability?
To get a good understanding of what sustainability is, we shall refer to Wikipedia:
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
Healthy ecosystems and environments provide vital goods and services to humans and other organisms. There are two major ways of reducing negative human impact and enhancing ecosystem services. The first is environmental management; this approach is based largely on information gained from earth science, environmental science, and conservation biology. The second approach is management of human consumption of resources, which is based largely on information gained from economics.
You can see that we have highlighted the last sentence. This is where the focus of this website will be. In our family, living sustainably by consuming less is important for two reasons, It helps to save the earth and it helps us to save money.
Please take the opportunity to look around our site and see if you could implement some of the ideas here into your household too.
