I'd rather think of it as "a sustainable society is one in which we contribute actively to supporting the natural ecological systems which, in turn, support us."
I'm reading a book "1491" - some of the things put forward are not agreed upon by different people in the field, but the author makes the case that a lot of the "bountiful" found here when folks arrived from Europe was due to extensive land and ecological management done by the native populations before diseases brought in by the Europeans decimated their numbers. Not sure if all the theories hold up, but it builds an impressive picture of sustainable living.
