Sustainability - What Is It?

I'm preparing to write the feature article for the January edition of our monthly custodial newsletter, As The Toilet Turns. I'm going to probe the subject of sustainability. I hear a lot more about it now than in years past. I've looked up the definition and talked to various vendors and people about it. The term is beginning to solidify in our everyday speech, but it still is not crystal clear.

What do you think? What have you learned about sustainability? How would you define the term? Is it important? I'd love to get some feedback that I could use to build my article on in January. Having a clearer understanding of new concepts and ideas goes a long way in integrating it into our daily lives. So, throw me some ideas, some input, some suggestions! I'm ready to write.
