According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) environmental sustainability is the capacity to improve the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of the earth's supporting ecosystems. This picture, taken from Gros Piton in my island of St. Lucia, was originally snapped for the lovely view it is, but the blue water and lush greenery are true reminders of an ecosystem we have to preserve for future generations. This is not just for the view, but for the numerous creatures that call this area home and for us humans to continue living and thriving in a habitable space with clean water and air for several years to come.
