Wikipedia:

Sustainability, in a broad sense, is the capacity to maintain a certain process or state. It is now most frequently used in connection with biological and human systems. In an ecological context, sustainability can be defined as the ability of an ecosystem to maintain ecological processes, functions, biodiversity and productivity into the future.[1]

Sustainability has become a complex term that can be applied to almost every facet of life on Earth, particularly the many different levels of biological organization, such as; wetlands, prairies and forests and is expressed in human organization concepts, such as; ecovillages, eco-municipalities, sustainable cities, and human activities and disciplines, such as; sustainable agriculture, sustainable architecture and renewable energy.

For humans to live sustainably, the Earth's resources must be used at a rate at which they can be replenished. However, there is now clear scientific evidence that humanity is living unsustainably, and that an unprecedented collective effort is needed to return human use of natural resources to within sustainable limits.[2][3]

Since the 1980s, the idea of human sustainability has become increasingly associated with the integration of economic, social and environmental spheres. In 1989, the United Nations Brundtland Commission articulated what has now become a widely accepted definition of sustainability: "[to meet] the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”[4]

Sustainable Spirit is the idea that one holds beliefs that creates a sustainable system of Spirituality and personal health.

There are many modalities and practices of modern spirituality.  Manifesting your dreams, healing with miracles, foretelling your future.  But what is often missing is the feeling that one is living a productive life.  That one feels harmonious and supported within their family and community.  That one continues practices of personal health that destroy the vehicle taht they are trying to enliven.

Sustainable Spirit is transforming ones fundamental understanding of reality and learning to live a sustainable, creative, fulfilling life.
