This means that we need to rethink how we use our resources, minimize waste and reduce our carbon footprint. By doing so, we can effectively combat climate change and ensure that future generations have a healthy planet to live on. Prioritizing sustainability not only benefits the environment but also leads to stronger communities, healthier ecosystems and an improved quality of life for everyone. Achieving this requires a joint effort from individuals, businesses and governments to incorporate sustainable practices into our daily lives, industrial processes and policymaking. This shift is crucial for the long term health of our environment and the well being of society as a whole.
 

"Sustainability" refers to meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It encompasses three main pillars: environmental protection, social development, and economic development. This holistic approach aims to create a balance between the earth's resources, societal needs, and economic growth, ensuring a healthy planet for future generations. By prioritizing sustainability, we seek to live in a way that respects the natural world, fosters social equity, and builds economies that thrive within the planet's ecological limits.
Preserving our natural environment, cultural heritage and resources for future generations is crucial within the realm of sustainability. The focus lies on safeguarding biodiversity, preserving natural habitats and preventing degradation of ecosystems. By doing so, we establish a solid foundation for sustainable development that promotes responsible utilization of natural resources and maintains a harmonious relationship with our environment. This approach not only benefits the planet but also supports the well being of all its inhabitants by promoting fair and sustainable resource usage.

We are living in times of poor connection between humans and nature. Somehow people forgot that there is no such thing as humans controlling and domaining nature, we are one solid organism. All nature patterns are cyclic and interconnected. We are a living chain. The climate change is upon all of us, 70% of the American population believes in it, but only 57% think that Global warming is caused mostly by human activities, says The Center for Climate Change Communication from George Mason University. We are responsible for the caused damaged, but we are also the ones that can save and change the Earth destiny.

 

Consumption of products and food has become a key factor to regulate and reduce the impacts in energy, water, natural recourses use and reduce waste. The constructions, remodeling, landscaping and interior decorations can increase tremendously our carbon footprint. We need to find a new and simple way of sustainable living that reconnect us with nature in our ordinary life and homes.

DEFINITION

 

FLOW 

• A movement in one direction.

• Flow is the mental state of being completely immersed in an activity.

• In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time.

​

SUSTAINABLE LIVING

• Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resources, and one's personal resources. Its practitioners often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering their methods of transportation, energy consumption, and/or diet.

​

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

• Sustainable development can be classified as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation.

​

SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION

• Sustainable Consumption (SC) explores how resources and energy are used, aiming to sustainably meet current and future human needs. It involves analyzing efficiency, infrastructure, waste management, and ensuring access to basic services, green jobs, and improved quality of life. SC is integral to sustainable development, addressing global challenges like climate change, resource depletion, and environmental pollution by promoting sustainable practices in production and consumption.

 

Livin Flow design Co. brings a proposal to merge all subjects mentioned (flow, sustainable living, sustainable development, and sustainable consumption) in one company that will design the homes for the future and present generation, creating an unique biophylic design that has a flow between the interior and exterior environment, reconnecting humans and nature. We believe that there is always space to improve how design and construction is done, we want to bring some of the know-how of Greenbuilding / sustainable certification to help you have a home or a business that is in balance with the Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profit).
