The concept is "sustainability". Just google or otherwise search on that word. The problem, of course, is that if we as individuals live sustainably, we accomplish next to nothing. We have to get the rest of the population to buy into it too, and there's a huge resistance due to denial, misinformation, laziness, greed and other factors to combat.
