And sustainability is all about saving the planet, right?
But what is a sustainable lifestyle? And is life in a van sustainable?

And it seemed I was amassing more questions then I was answers.
Sustainability seems to be one of the buzz words at the moment. Everyone is talking about sustainability, you need to be more sustainable, how to make things more sustainable.
Can I sustain the continued use of sustainability in this blog post with out annoying the reader?
But what is it and is it something we can achieve?
The dictionary defines sustainability as the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level… forever. So now my question is: What is it exactly that we are trying to maintain? And how are we going about maintaining it?
Wikipedia tells us that in the 21st-century sustainability is usually used to refer to the capacity of people and the natural world to coexist. And though we are in some way coexisting with the natural world, it is fairly obvious that we do not coexist very well. Anyone needing a reminder of this can watch the David Attenborough film A Life on Our Planet.
Ok before we get frustrated with people lets get back to the goal at hand.
Living more sustainable (It is possible to cause Attenborough told us so) and more pertinent to many of us: How to live sustainably in a van?!
