Why Sustainability Is Important
The term “sustainability” is more than just trendy word usage. There is a real purpose in applying principles and practices that have long-term positive effects on the local community and planet we inhabit. Sustainable practices are just that, they can be continued indefinitely. The goal is to minimize our negative impact on the ecosystems of this world while continuing to enjoy the brands we love by taking items that are routinely discarded and turning them into new products.
