activity
 sustainability is the capacity  to continue with existence. I think a way in which we could apply sustainable consumption to our lives is recycling.  This can help because this is a way to reduce waste. Also companies can find ways in which they could pollute the air less so the environment is less affected. other things that everybody could do are buying things that are eco friendly, trying to use less plastic bags and more paper or cloth bags. 

another way of apllying it is by having a wise use of resources. we should not use so much fule or at least not for everything. sometimes people think fule is the only soution but now a days there are a lot of alternative. we can use solar pannels or wind mills
