Sustainability

1. What does it mean to live sustainably?

To live sustainably would mean to able to live in a manner where all your needs are taken care of and is at least some what enjoyable.  It would mean you have obviously some hard times but it means you are content with what you have available.  If you live sustainably that mean would you have all that you need.  It could also fall into the category that you get everything you want (materialistic), but that's a little more than sustainably.

2. How much freedom and independence do you have as a 14-16 year old in our society?

In our society 14-16 year olds have a pretty decent amount of freedom.  At 16 you get to drive a car and in our school epically we get a lot of freedom to do what we want.  At around 14 most people tend to give us more freedom but more responsibility in order to help us learn for when we go off to college and/or start a life of our own.  The responsibility we get at around this age tends to increase as we get older.  All in all people in this age group tend to get a pretty good amount of freedom and at the same time responsibility.

3.As a 14-16 year old, how can you currently live your life more sustainably?

In the age group of 14-16 there are many ways to live your life more sustainably.  You could get a job and try get your money rather than asking your parents for money that way you give your parents more spending money for food, mortgage etc.  Also I guess working hard at school could also help with that because then it helps with college and could be considered a investment for the future.  You could also use less energy or find some other way to cut down on the resources you use thus saving your guardians some money.
