Diana Medina 12/17/2018 5:51 AMMany people are aware of the importance of sustainability, but are accustomed to old habits. Sustainability is important to me, because I want to ensure the safety and wellbeing of future generations, especially for my children. My vision for sustainability is like the movie Avatar, this may sound silly, but it came to my mind when I was explaining sustainability, although the movie may be a bit extreme. A handful of people realize the importance of sustainability and fight hard for it, while others unintentionally are destroying our planet. It’s difficult to fight for a cause that doesn’t reap the benefits immediately. However, if like the avatars we continue fighting or our earth, not physically like the movie, but by educating others, we can all make an impact. We are all on different levels of sustainability. I myself have a long road ahead, but I am now aware of my actions and the consequences, which has already altered my behavior.

The impact that you'll have on teaching your kids these values is something that will carry well into the future and will benefit the planet greatly. Keep up the good work!
