Presentation Abstract
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals are important indicators for sustainable development on all scales of human civilization. Through research and hands-on observation at a local retail store in Pawley's Island, facilitated through my participation in the UN Youth Corp Internship program, I studied the science behind sourcing sustainable products. I also studied the science between implementation of community-wide reusable bag programs; I researched the statistics between reusable bags, their production, and their usage. I utilized SDG standards in coordinating a community event in which community members participate in the upcycling of old fabrics into reusable bags. Sustainable development starts at a local level, and the facilitation and support of local stores and events surrounding sustainability foster sustainable growth and create intelligent, resilient communities.
