How to learn to live sustainably

More and more people, driven by scientific information on the state of the planet's health and the health crisis generated by the pandemic, feel the need to start living in an environmentally sustainable way. But what does it mean to live sustainably?

The term sustainability entered the political and civil debate in 1992, on the occasion of the first UN conference on the environment.
