Sustainable - GCSE Chemistry Definition

Reviewed by: Richard Boole

Published

'Sustainable' refers to using resources in a way that meets our current needs without depleting them for future generations. In GCSE Chemistry, this means finding and using materials and energy sources that do not harm the environment. Sustainable practices aim to reduce pollution and waste, promote recycling, and use renewable resources like solar and wind energy. By making sustainable choices, we help protect the planet and ensure that there will be enough resources left for people in the future to use.

Richard has taught Chemistry for over 15 years as well as working as a science tutor, examiner, content creator and author. He wasn’t the greatest at exams and only discovered how to revise in his final year at university. That knowledge made him want to help students learn how to revise, challenge them to think about what they actually know and hopefully succeed; so here he is, happily, at SME.
