Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present a mathematical model that can be used as an educational tool to reflect the philosophical aspects of sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a descriptive paper.

Findings

Everyone carries a sustainability deficit. Therefore, opportunities to reduce this deficit abound. Education is an excellent vehicle to achieve sustainability.

Practical implications

Helping individuals with extremely high sustainability deficit to make minimum improvements is more beneficial than a further reduction of the “deficit” by those who have it already low. Further action is certainly encouraged, especially to quantify the sustainability index.

Originality/value

The paper fulfils the need of providing an original model upon which educators may lean to, in order to enhance learning in sustainability.
