Sustainable Living: The Green Machine

Sustainable living is a concept that aims to reduce the use of natural resources by an individual or by a society. The main objective of sustainable living is to reduce the carbon footprint of people and communities. A carbon footprint is nothing but the amount of carbon utilized by a person or an entity. The larger the footprint, greater will be the damage to the environment. The main reasons for increase in the carbon footprint of a nation or an individual are excessive use of fossil fuels, pollution, environmentally detrimental architecture, and deforestation.
