Gideon Mccall · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Sustainability refers to the use of resources in a proper manner, where they are not wasted and utilized properly, and are further available for future generations also.

It does not state that the current generation, should not use the resources at all, in order to preserve the resources for future generations, and that the current generation should in any manner compromise with their requirements.

Therefore, the statement in question is false.
