In the first part of this work, we realize a critical assessment on several of the sustainability concepts and we argue in favour of the strong or ecological sustainability. Then we proceed to enumerate the operative criteria of sustainability and base them on the Second Principle of Thermodynamics and on the complexity of the dynamic systems. In the second part of this article, we propose a general organization of the contents related with sustainability in order to introduce them to the different levels of teaching.
