Sustainability is the capacity to endure through renewal, maintenance, and sustenance, or nourishment. 14 ,
durability refers to the capacity to endure through constant resistance to change. For humans in social systems or
ecosystems, sustainability is the long-term maintenance of responsibility, which has environmental, economic, and
social dimensions. It encompasses the concept of stewardship, the responsible management of resource use. In ecology,
sustainability describes how biological systems remain diverse, robust, and productive 15 , a necessary
precondition for the well-being of humans and other organisms. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are 16 of
sustainable biological systems. Robust, diverse, productive ecosystems and environments provide vital resources and
processes, 17 "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. 18 approach is
management of consumption of resources, which is based largely on information gained from educated professionals in
economics. Both try to reduce negative human impact on the environment, though in different ways.

The story of communication is an important part of world history. In prehistoric times, for example, people did
not have books. They did not know much about geography. 19 . They knew only about themselves and their
environment (the land around their homes). Their knowledge of geographical things like mountains and rivers was
limited. They did not travel very far. Sometimes they knew about nearby people and communicated with them. 20 .
Early types of signals for communication included smoke from fires and the sounds of drums. Then people formed
towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they began to develop other ways to communicate, to spread
information. People began to buy and sell things to one another. Because of their business, they developed writing
systems to keep records and to send messages. Life was changing for many people. 21 , and so did the invention
of the printing press. Many more people learned to read then. 22 . People sent letters and news by horse and
carriage. Later the mail went by train, by boat, and then by airplane. World communication became a possibility.
