Abstract: 
This research explores the dynamic interplay between sustainable environmental practices and economic sustainability in the United States. Through a comprehensive literature review, we investigate the multifaceted dimensions of sustainable practices, examining renewable energy adoption, waste management strategies, and sustainable agriculture. The study unveils the economic impacts, including job creation, innovation, and market opportunities. Despite initial costs and policy uncertainties, opportunities arise from consumer demand, policy interventions, technological advancements, and collaborative efforts. Future directions include technological innovation, circular economies, global collaborations, and revised economic metrics. Ultimately, this research underscores the imperative of harmonizing economic prosperity with environmental responsibility for a resilient and sustainable future.
