Sustainability is known by many different definitions. Some say its through action, while others say its through the words we speak. Lets turn to the root word of that which is sustainable. Sustainable means the ability to be able to be maintained at a certain rate or level, or, the ability to be upheld or defended. I can relate this to our honua, earth. We need to be more sustainable so that this place can last and have a positive impact on the future generations. I am very much thankful for the personal characteristics and traits that being sustainable has taught me through this class. While we are trying to be sustainable and have sustainability in our actions through growing plants and learning about food and land, I have also learned about being humble, taking care of our responsibilities, reaching out and providing for others, as well as learning the knowledge of history and insight that can be passed down from generation to generation. So very much in sustainability I am thankful for the opportunity where I can learn from others to help boost and gain my knowledge and insight into a whole new level of greatness.
