    The ecosystem basically is "everything" in nature and its interaction with each other and other things, i.e. sun, water, plant life, animals, people, air/atmosphere, food, etc. Sustainability is when an ecosystem is able to repair itself and thrive, i.e. sustain (aka "make it"). In regards to being more sustainable for the environment you can make sure you don't litter, erase or limit your use of harmful chemicals and toxins that might affect the environment, recycle, etc.
