kestävämpällä

Kestävämmällä is a Finnish word that translates to "more sustainable" or "on a more sustainable basis" in English. It is the adessive case of the word "kestävä," which means sustainable or durable. The adessive case in Finnish often indicates the means, manner, or occasion upon which something is done or exists. Therefore, "kestävämmällä" specifically refers to doing something in a way that is more sustainable than before, or operating on a foundation that is more sustainable.

The concept of "kestävämmällä" is frequently used in discussions about environmentalism, economics, and social development. For example, a company might aim to operate "kestävämmällä" by reducing its carbon footprint or sourcing materials more ethically. An individual might choose to live "kestävämmällä" by minimizing waste or using public transportation more often. It implies a continuous effort towards improvement and a long-term perspective, focusing on balancing present needs with the ability of future generations to meet their own. The term highlights a comparative improvement in sustainability, suggesting a move away from less sustainable practices towards more beneficial ones for the environment and society.
