Question

2. Can you explain sustainability in Portuguese? Talk to your classmates and your teacher and write your definition in your notebook.​

Answer 1

"In its literal sense, the term 'sustainability' consists of a system's ability to sustain itself. Is the search for balance between meeting human needs and preserving natural resources, without compromising the next generations." (English)

"Em termos práticos, sustentabilidade significa suprir as necessidades do presente sem afetar as gerações futuras. Na origem, sustentabilidade remete ao termo "sustentável", derivado do latim sustentare, que significa sustentar, defender, favorecer, apoiar, conservar e/ou cuidar." (Other definition but in Portuguese)
