The environment broadly consists of the natural and cultural landscapes that surround us and infuse resources and context into our livelihoods, business, and material and spiritual fulfillment. Accurately understanding and effectively integrating ecological thinking into personal, business and political decisions results in a realistic understanding of constraints and opportunities, establishing the ground for sustainable innovation.
