The System Conditions:

Level 2, Success

In the Sustainable Society, Nature is not subject to systematically increasing...

1 …concentrations of substances from the Earth’s crust.

2 …concentrations of substances produced by society.

3 …degradation by physical means.

and in a sustainable society…..

4 … people are not subject to conditions that systematically undermine their capacity to meet their needs.
