What is Sustainable Living? According to UNICEF, Sustainable Living is a method of limiting environmental impact through education, limiting waste, limiting emissions, conserving water, avoiding toxins, traveling responsibly, and advocating for change. All of these actions are done with the intention of creating a better planet and helping the environment for future generations.
