What does environmentally unsustainable mean?
A system is environmentally unsustainable if it can't remain healthy and productive over time. For a grossly oversimplified example, say my system is to take rocks out of a barrel. Every day, I take a rock out. Eventually, the barrel will be empty, and my system will collapse. But say my system is to scoop some water out of a barrel, and that barrel collects rainwater. Every day, I scoop some water out, and every once in a while, rain adds water to the barrel. It's entirely possible to do this forever, without ever empying the barrel. That system would be sustainable; the rock system would be unsustainable.
