Hi Lora, a sustainable society utilizes its assets to cater for current requirements while maintaining adequate resources for the future generations. The community involves its entire people in long-term and integrated planning to safeguard the environment, meet social requirements, and expand financial opportunities. The cradle-to-cradle business structure is an example of a sustainability model that considers the ecology, surrounding, and equity since the manure is friendly to the ecology, the environment, and provides generous returns to the owners. The cattle graze on available land to cut costs while they fertilize the land with manure to enhance the appearance of the environment and promote the ecological systems. Businesses today are expected to uphold the triple bottom line that comprises of the 3 P’s: planet, profit, and people. The ideology of the 3 P’s enables corporate projects such as the cradle-to-cradle model to acquire success in a surrounding where people are reverting to more eco-friendly practices (Mukherjee, et al, 10).

Hi Nancy, collaborative consumption is a fast-rising sustainable model that many individuals encounter every day. I for one prefer using the collaborative consumption sites to dispose of what I do not need for something important. On several occasions, the exchanges have helped me adhere to the 3P’s or 3E’s to secure the environment, acquire a good financial deal, and safeguard the ecological systems for the future generations. The only issue that arises in collaborative consumption is the safety of the transactions or meetings. In most situations, the people who are eager to share the items have to meet up with strangers (Mukherjee, et al, 15). Individuals are thus fearful of falling prey to illegal activities such as human trafficking, kidnapping, etc. I would recommend that people stick to the prominent sites or companies dealing with collaborative consumption that carry out thorough background checks before accepting new users.
