Sustainability Education and Practices

The video discusses sustainability, highlighting differences between developed and developing regions. In developed countries, the focus is on environmental protection and green building standards. In contrast, developing regions like Africa and Central America prioritize basic needs such as hygiene and safety education. A case study of a $90 million water project in the Bahamas illustrates efforts to reduce water leakage and raise awareness about water conservation. The video emphasizes tailoring sustainability efforts to local needs and the importance of education in achieving these goals.
