Solving for sustainability on Mars would almost by definition solve for sustainability on Earth.

It really seems like on a technological level, sustainability on earth is roughly solved even with modern comfort. What remains of the problem and prevents us from implementing it is more social and political than anything...

An off planet colony would likely face the same issues of sustainability as soon as different factions start competing for resources.
