In this course, we are talking a lot about interconnected systems, including ecosystems, cultural systems, and environmental systems. Some systems are not sustainable, while others are. One way to tell the difference between unsustainable and sustainable systems is to consider whether a system provides some or all of its own power to operate, or instead needs external, non-renewable power sources to function.
