Sustainability and sustainable development have become household terms in the present times. Gone are the days of luxury for a few and penury for the many. Today, it has come to be accepted that global ecology and economy are highly intertwined. The age-old Indian principle of the entire world being regarded as one family: "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" has been globally acknowledged and accepted. The developed world is now forthcoming in meeting the developmental needs of the developing nations by sharing sustainable technology to solve ecological problems and offering financial support for cooperative research. Thus, sustainability can be achieved as a global goal by the coordinated, conscientious and collaborative efforts of all the stakeholders viz. industry, government, environmentalists, consumers and society at large, across the world. Sustainability has become a virtue of the 21st century that must be imbibed by each and every individual, for each one of us have the capacity and onus as well to conserve our environment and resource endowments for the sake of future generations. The individual contribution of various stakeholders in the form of mindful production and consumption will collectively help in making long strides on the pathway of sustainability.
