As biological processes are not thermodynamically reversible, life on Earth is not actually sustainable. Eventually entropy will get the better of us and life as we know it will not be able to exist.

For example, the Earth is due to "run out" of Carbon dioxide in about 500 million years (meaning that there won't be enough carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to take place).

Why is earth able to support life while venus or mars is not?

The earth has several factors that allow it to sustain life while its sister planets cannot. The most important of which is its location from the Sun. Earth lies within the "Goldilocks Zone" which is a distance from a star that allows for proper temperatures to maintain life. Deviation too far in either distance can make it too hot, or too cold, to sustain life.
