Question

sustainability n.持续性，能维持性；【环境】可持续性 (1) 不论是从健康角度，还是从可持续性角度看，全球的食物系统都已处于一个失调的状态。 Sustainability became a big idea after people began to realize that we were using up our natural resources, so you’re most likely to come across the word when you’re reading about recycling and energy use. If you hear someone talking about sustainability in the context of energy, they’re probably talking about alternatives to oil or coal — both of which will run out in the future. A sustainable source of energy is something that's always there — like water or wind.
