Sustainability: simple definition (whiteboard animation)

What is sustainability? In this video I explain what sustainability is with environmental science and natural cycles. The scientific consensus mentioned in this video has been peer reviewed, scrutinized and refined over more than 20 years.
We hear a lot about sustainable development, sustainability, ecology, climate, global warming but can we define what sustainability is and how we can achieve it?
This builds on the work of doctor Karl-Henrik Robèrt and The Natural Step, you can read more about his research here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Hen....
This definition is an alternative to the Brundtland definition, the triple bottom line or people planet profit.

I enjoyed your video and the illustrations you've made. Can't wait to see more.
However, if you don't mind some criticism, if I were you, I'd research cohesive devices and intonation in speech. The uprising intonation at the end of every sentence does not help the listeners get your point, and some more complex linkers like "although" or "while" could make your speech much more captivating.
Love the job that's already done though, thanks!

Hello. I am an Environmental Science teacher (high school) and would love to use some of your videos in the classroom. Do you have pdf files of your entire sketch that I could use as concept map notes (keep the kiddos following along).

[@Videocentric2010]

Hey! You're doing good work. I never fully understood the full extent of what sustainability entails. This is great start. Here I come, Google.

[@learnsustainability]

+Videocentric2010 Thanks :-)

I'm wondering why I'm now learning AFTER my old fashion school days from this kind visualization of associated learning, it's because being a drawer also it's just natural for me to visualize rather than abstractly assimilate stuff having no UML of modeling substance -OR- kinesthetic/tactile/spatially aware to "read words & see drawings" visual rather than just sit around listening all day long to teachers, as everything was only delivered auditory by ear growing up, being like bibles before they were ever written > so thx to this clip I now get to >see it< what I'm to actually ^learn^

[@learnsustainability]

The speakers cadence in speech expresses some quality of coyness, which can imply trying to be captivating, or withholding information so as to string along. I'm assuming so that such types can feel like they are managing your time and also directing your course of actions. This to my mind, may well be the true root cause of the so-called unsustainablility that has beset our modern world. Those that have no qualms about withholding information or revealing only what suits their plans and purposes

[@earthinanest5288]

Hi Alex.
Would you consider being a guest speaker at a small business community summit?

Why the poor horse has his tail between his legs

[@ervynseguritan6422]

he's already speaking english..the subtitles should be in chinese..

[@williamfreeman6815]

+Ervyn Seguritan I've seen you on a few vids giving the same suggestion, are you interested at learning Chinese?

[@Koala019]

GET TO THE POINT

[@gisl2159]

All these systems are not created? They are not amazing? Cnservation is right but it is a half right theory.

[@pmrsincearly5028]

NERDY EXPLANATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GraceMcGrathEnvironment]

But it was still super helpful, though.

[@edmondmclaurin5362]
