Define sustainability, freegans, sterwardship, biomimicry, ecological footprint, and overshoot.

Sustainability: Is making a better today without hurting the needs of tommorrow. An example of this is going to a place and making it better when you leave like picking up trash there instead of leaving it there.

Freegans: They are people who take other peoples junk and turn it into their own treasure.

Stewardship: Is being responible for somebody else like if somebody throws trash on the ground you would throw it away for them.

Biomimicry: Is when you mimic nature, or create what nature creates.

Ecological footprint: What a person or a group of people's impact on our earth.

Overshoot: Today, humanity uses about 30% more in one year than nature can regenerate in that same year.That is overshoot.
