This blog was originally based on a course ran by Professor Nick Gray of the Trinity Centre for the Environment at Trinity College Dublin who also wrote a textbook for the module Facing up to global warming: What is going on and what you can do about it. Now working as an independent consultant, Nick continues to work in the area of environmental sustainability and looking at ways of making a difference without recriminations or guilt. Saving the planet is all about living sustainably.

Personal Definition of Sustainability - Eoin Mac Réamoinn

For me, sustainability refers to the practice of competent resource management, in a manner that mitigates and ultimately halts the overuse and depletion of resources. Anthropocentric tendencies and lax use of resources must be very much abandoned and sustainable practices adopted to ensure resources are still available for successive generations.
