Human’s sustainability, which can be interpreted as the potential of long-term maintenance of wellbeing depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of resources.

And thereby the human consumption of resource is going up, which results in the depletion of resource and the degradation of environment.
Historically, humanity has responded to a demand for more resources by trying to increase supply. Sustainability, instead, applies demand management of all goods and services by promoting reduced consumption, using renewable resources where possible, and encouraging practices that minimize resource intensity while maximizing resource productivity.
