The Three Pillars of Sustainability
Embedded Files
LIFE NEEDS ALL 3 PILLARS TO BE BALANCED
Sustain = Support
Sustain = Support
If the three pillars in this picture weren't balanced with one another, the roof they're holding up would collapse.
There are three pillars that need to balance to create sustainable life, whether we're talking about one person, one community, or one planet.
Environment
Environment
This includes any setting you live in:
The planet
Your community
The classroom
Your video game
What's in your head
What are you doing to choose or create environments that support life?
Social Empowerment
Social Empowerment
Humans are social beings. We want to know where we fit in and we feel safe when we are supported. Empowerment comes from being able to make meaningful (and age appropriate) choices in our lives.
Where do you find support?
Where do you give it?
Economic Resources
Economic Resources
Resources are so much more than money! They are the things we use to get the things we want and need. Some of our most important resources may be surprising:
Time
Food
Clothing
What we Know
Grades (This is different from knowledge...)
Air
What are the resources you value most in life? How do you protect them?
