- The key aspect of sustainability is the concept of resource replenishment. To understand this concept, imagine you are requiring the use of two blue-eyed hampsters for your thing that you are doing. If the thing you are doing causes the hamsters to die unceremoniously in a pool of horrific blue-eyed hamster blood, this activity can be described as non-sustainable, as you have failed to ensure the hamsters' plenishment, let alone their repeatable replenishment. If, however, if in the process of executing your thingymajigger, you manage to preserve the lives and reusability of your blue-eyed hamsters, you have achieved a certain level of sustainability. But this still cannot be identified as a fully sustainable system. If you are able to reuse the hamsters repeatedly so that they are able to have hot hamster sex and reproduce in the form of replenished blue-eyed hamster babies that you can use for further thing-doing, then your system can be said to be entirely sustainable, and you will get pretty ribbons from Al Gore.

- Sustainability in a general sense is the capacity to support, maintain or endure. Since the 1980s human sustainability has been related to the integration of environmental, economic, and social dimensions towards global stewardship and responsible management of resources. In ecology, sustainability describes how biological systems remain diverse, robust, and productive over time, a necessary precondition for the well-being of humans and other organisms. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. Sustainable ecosystems and environments provide vital resources and processes (known as "ecosystem services"). There are two major ways of managing human impact on ecosystem services. One approach is environmental management; this approach is based largely on information gained from educated professionals in earth science, environmental science, and conservation biology. Another approach is management of consumption of resources, which is based largely on information gained from educated professionals in economics. Human sustainability interfaces with economics through the voluntary trade consequences of economic activity. Moving towards sustainability (or applied sustainability) while keeping the quality of life high is a social challenge that entails, among other factors, international and national law, urban planning and transport, local and individual lifestyles and ethical consumerism. Ways of living more sustainably can take many forms from controlling living conditions (e.g., ecovillages, eco-municipalities and sustainable cities), to reappraising work practices (e.g., using permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture), or developing and using new technologies that reduce the consumption of resources such as renewable energy technologies.
