Oh, so that’s being sustainable, right? We are conserving and enhancing our resources and environment!
Yes, you are right. Your sister is here to tell you everything you want to know about being sustainable in the modern times.
You're doing great in explaining this Cara.

Wow! That’s so cool. But I can only do so much, ate. What can someone like me do to become sustainable?
Another example of our progress in terms of sustainable development are solar energy, crop rotation, sustainable forestry and many more.
Wow! Thank you papa and ate! That was really informational.
