What are the prerequisites for a sustainable society?
In case you don't know a sustainable society is one that functions in a way so as not to deplete the energy or material resources on which it depends. Such a society interacts with the natural world in ways that maintain existing species and ecosystems.

Basically, use the interest. For instance fishing, only take the amount that can be replaced in one year. Look at it as interest from an account. You take the interest and you will have a healthy account. If you take more then the interest the total amount will decrease leaving less capital that can give interest. Sooner or later the account have to be left alone until it has built up again. Although you can take out more then th interest for awhile, you screw up the accoutn for a long time. In the long run it's a bad decision.
It's about responsibility, to take care of each other and the Nature, to see we are connected. I believe this will lead to a richer life as well.
It is to create an environment, in all its aspects, that is beneficial to us all, whether it be social, environmental, or other.

There must be a balance of what you take from the earth and what you give back. But it appears you know that already. And if you are thinking of people from our day and age and our towns... It does take everyone working together. As far as people from different walks of life... i don't know why. I hope someone else can be more helpful.
