    GOOD LECTURE

  3. Sustainability is ending China CCP’s military threats against Taiwan.
    After Taiwan’s recent election, CCP’s PLA military aircraft interfered Taiwan with 24 sorties. China, an unsustainable hegemony, has been doing the same against a pro-sustainability free small state for decades, and no one has voiced.
    As neutral academic institutions, there is urgent need to calculate the energy, resources, time wastes in military drills, also how many tons of CO2, GHG generated in those stupid coercive acts no one wants to see. In this way, it permanently terminates the practice of barbaric domination by fists, in exchange of a more humane, civilized way of co-managing the planet(s). The Chinese mentality dwelling in 100 years past from now cannot survive this modern age.

    Earth has to evolve, and academia, as institutions of intelligence and knowledge pools, should have louder voices in creating a fairer place for all. Global important initiatives should include Taiwan, a free country, instead of CCP China, an illegitimate inhumane regime based on lies and coercion.

    Sustainable is a word you use when you are trying to do something particularly evil.

  6. all that are very ambiguous. primitive soiety like in africa and the americas were sustainable until the white man , the colonizer came to distabilize them… right, now economy was created, with captalism, now here we are. now all the natural ressources are beind depleted n oh we need to be sustainable ? very ambiguous

  7. This video about rainbow duck is really good

  8. I started to try and use reusable plates instead of plastic or paper to reduce the amount of trash I through away recently.

  9. Sustainability is a con being used by the Communist United Nation Leaders that wants you to believe they need to control everything in the world and enslave humanity. There is no shortage of resources, it is lie built on more lies. They are working hard to cut off our supply chains to create World Hunger. They are literally causing it on purpose.

    Sustainability refers to the ability to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It encompasses economic, environmental, and social dimensions, ensuring long-term balance and the responsible use of resources.

    The Triple Bottom Line (TBL), or as some knows the Three E’s, expands the traditional financial bottom line to include social and environmental aspects. It emphasizes Economic prosperity, Environmental stewardship, and Equity (social fairness), encouraging organizations to focus on more than just profit but also on their impact on people and the planet.

    thank you ❤️

  21. Sustainability in the real world apart from academia is impossible (at least in the long run). There is NOTHING you could do on this planet that would not destroy the planet if all 8 billion people did it. Imagine 8 billion cars driving. Or 8 billion people eating crab meat, or tuna, or eve beef. It just CAN’T be done. We’d wipe out those species in a a year or less. Same is true for buring coal, wood etc. 8 Billion people just can’t do it. In the end, as the population continues to grow, we will inevitably be able to do less and less.

  22. Great. 3 E’s should met without compromising that’s Sustainability 😅

    Every time I’m in the back of a cop car I ask them how they can hire their kids if the gay ones aren’t having any? They drive around every day as a job, who else contributed more to climate change? It’s not rocket science, our idiot society.

  25. The problem and the answer is within. We must face ourselves and realize " he who has enough is rich" are you satisfied?is growth good or detrimental?

    I went to Evergreen college where we were real big on ‘sustainability’. Sucks to see the entire movement get co-opted by multinational corporations and the global elite. Y’all can all smd

  28. If we humans do not use our developed strengths, such as being resourceful and inventive to live in a sustainably way, then we have actually missed our target, everything needs balance.

  29. Great source of information. Thanks for sharing !!

    You need ideas for free energy. Make water channels that can also help us
    1) avoid flood damage
    2) generate plenty of energy to store with chemicals or physical batteries?

  34. Few seem to talk about the more fundamental problem of an economic growth model that doesn’t rely on population growth. Most well-off nations are currently avoiding confrontation with this issue by immigration, which is definitely not sustainable. There is some talk about automation, but this leads to the potential issue of mass unemployment, leading to the practical issue of redistribution and the philosophical issue about what humans will do with themselves when they don’t need to work. If this deeper issue is solved first, I believe all the other issues of sustainability will sort themselves out, *without coercion or coordination by a supranational government.*

    The video is very confusing because it mushes together the cash economy and equity with the environment, and ecological sustainability is just about staying within Earth’s ecological limits.

    Sustainability, according to the Brundtland Commission, is "meeting present needs without compromising ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This definition of sustainability is very similar to mine: it refers to the continued use of natural resources while taking into account the needs of future generations and maintaining equity, economic efficiency, and environmental integrity.

  39. Very insightful!

    I am Kenneth G. West from the English language education program at Pasir Pengaraian University. this is my duty.

    Sustainability is a societal goal that relates to the ability of people to coexist safely on Earth over the long or into the future. Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that seeks to reduce the use of the Earth’s natural resources by individuals or communities.
    With the increasing needs of the human population will wipe out other species in the ecosystem. In addition to natural resources, humans also need economic resources. simply put, sustainability is about our children and grandchildren, how we live today so they can thrive in future generations. Sustainability, according to the Brundtland Commission, is "meeting present needs without compromising ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This definition of sustainability is very similar to mine: it refers to the continued use of natural resources while taking into account the needs of future generations and maintaining equity, economic efficiency, and environmental integrity.

    By applying this one concept the need for the next generation will be kept safe. The concept of sustainability is a concept that provides so much good and positive impact on the environment and the people in it

    This is sustainability but short Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.

    This is sustainability but short Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.

    How is sustainability of environment, economy & equity possible when the definition of sustainability is defined by satisfying HUMAN needs, which are defined by human demand for goods/resources, which in turn are tied to to human population growth rates? For example, bamboo is considered a sustainable resource because it grows fast and aggressively enough to keep up with human needs. It’s an amazing plant species, however, because it grows SO aggressively, it outcompetes and displaces most other plant species in the area it’s growing (as do so many aggressive weed species, which is why they’re considered weeds) and thereby compromises/eliminates the biodiversity that existed in the area before bamboo overran it. At the same time bamboo’s aggressive growth rate answers the growing needs of human populations for fiber, building materials, etc., it’s very aggression wipes out many other species that depend on a diverse ecosystem, and cannot live where a single species has taken over. If human needs can only be satisfied by such aggressive species, that is not a sustainable system, as it destroys biodiversity. No one seems to want to discuss human population reduction, but to achieve true sustainability for future generations of ALL SPECIES — in which the biodiversity is paramount — I believe human "needs"/demand may have to somehow be kept in check.

    n the 1960s, scientist Dr. James Lovelock formulated the Gaia Hypothesis, a theory suggesting that Earth and its physical components are a living system that work together in harmony. Lovelock says this:
    "You may find it hard to swallow the notion that anything as large and apparently inanimate as the Earth is alive. Surely, you may say, the Earth is almost wholly rock, and nearly all incandescent with heat. The difficulty can be lessened if you let the image of a giant redwood tree enter your mind. The tree undoubtedly is alive, yet 99% of it is dead."
    .
    "The Gaia hypothesis…suppose(s) that the atmosphere, the oceans, the climate, and the crust of the Earth are regulated at a state comfortable for life because of the behavior of living organisms. Specifically, the Gaia hypothesis said that the temperature, oxidation state, acidity and certain aspects of the rocks and waters are at any time kept constant, and that this homeostasis is maintained by active feedback processes operated automatically and unconsciously by the biota. Solar energy sustains comfortable conditions for life. The conditions are only constant in the short term and evolve in synchrony with the changing needs of the biota as it evolves. Life and its environment are so closely coupled that evolution concerns Gaia, not the organisms or the environment taken separately."
    .
    Lovelock’s Gaia Hypothesis completely contradicts the truth about the planet as written in Genesis 1. Gaia supports the theory of evolution, as well as suggesting that the earth is dominant over humanity, instead of the Biblical paradigm of God giving humankind the right and responsibility of dominating the planet.
    .
    Gaia has sparked many Earth-worshiping groups and events, such as Gaianism and sacred evolution, the Gaian Mind Summer Festival, Gaian Voices, and Gaian Tarot.
    .
    As journalist Joan Veon tells us, the Gaia hypothesis has even come to popularity in world politics:
    "In 1992, what the United Nations did was, they perverted, inverted, that truth, and they basically said man was no longer dominant over the earth, but the earth was dominant over man. They said that we, as men, as living human beings, were equal to the plants and the animals. And so, what Gaia really is, is paganism. So, we now have the United Nations espousing a pagan religion and they are trying to make it equal for each one of us and therefore stamp out the validity and personhood of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the savior of the world."
    .
    "UNCED, also called the earth Summit, was an unveiling of the philosophical shift from the Judeo-Christian world view to Gaia…With the adoption of sustainable development at UNCED, man was demoted to the same level as a plant or animal."
    .
    The United Nations is working towards not only a global government, but also a global religion: the New Age, which is espoused perfectly in the Earth-worship involved in the sustainability movement.
    .
    Humanism
    The increasingly popular doctrine of humanism agrees with Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis:
    "First: Religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created.
    .
    Second: Humanism believes that man is a part of nature and that he has emerged as the result of a continuous process…
    .
    Man is at last becoming aware that he alone is responsible for the realization of the world of his dreams, that he has within himself the power for its achievement."
    .
    Corliss Lamont, in his book The Philosophy of Humanism, says this:
    "For his great achievements man, utilizing the resources and the laws of Nature, yet without Divine aid, can take full credit. Similarly, for his shortcomings he must take full responsibility. Humanism assigns to man nothing less than the task of being his own saviour and redeemer."
    .
    UNCED and The Earth Charter
    In 1992, the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. According to historian David Livingstone, the Conference included many elements of New Age Earth worship:
    "The summit was described by Time magazine as a “New Age carnival.”
    .
    On the eve of the UNCED, a midnight-to-dawn homage to the “Female Planet” was held on Leme Beach. After dancing all night, the worshipers followed a Brazilian high priestess to the water’s edge, where they offered flowers and fruits to the Voodoo mother goddess.
    .
    Baha’i believer Maurice Strong, UNCED’s Secretary-General, was instrumental in the creation of The Earth Charter, which came to fruition in 2000. He made it clear that there is a spiritual agenda in the environmental movement:
    "Maurice Strong hinted at the overtly pagan agenda proposed for a future Earth Charter, when in his opening address to the Rio Conference delegates he said, “It is the responsibility of each human being today to choose between the force of darkness and the force of light.” And, he said, “We must therefore transform our attitudes and adopt a renewed respect for the superior laws of divine nature.” According to Strong, “The real goal of the Earth Charter is that it will in fact become like the Ten Commandments.”
    .
    Joan Veon tells us that New Age leaders Alice Bailey and Helena Blavatsky often used the terms "force of darkness" and "force of light."
    .
    "Their writings state that the "force of darkness" are those who adhere to the "out-dated" Judeo-Christian faith; those who continue along their "separative" paths of the one true God."
    .
    The "force of light" (Lucifer), in their view, is the inclusive new age doctrine of a pagan pantheistic New World Religion. In the New Age of Aquarius there will be no room for the "force of darkness" and "separativeness."
    .
    It’s clear that sustainability and environmentalism are not only about caring for the earth, but about political control and New Age spirituality.
    .
    David Livingstone sums it up this way:

    Thank you.

    A square yellow sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, in the city of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. During his time off, SpongeBob has a knack for attracting trouble with his starfish best friend, Patrick. Arrogant octopus Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob’s neighbor, dislikes SpongeBob because of his childlike behavior.
