It has taken me all my life to understand the true meaning of sustainability. I thought it was something to do with chopping down fewer trees, driving smaller cars and reducing our meat intake. Someone once described it as “making things last forever”. But what does it really mean?
It was only since I arrived here in Malaysia nearly five years ago that I realised sustainability is both complex, and at the same time, very simple. It is about our lives, our health, and our wealth. And if we don’t embrace it, it could be what threatens our ultimate existence.
