Which / that
I have this sentence:
The word “utopia” evokes the thought of a society in which mankind can create, and most importantly, maintain a standard of living which permits life in a balance of liberty, equality and a supply of resources that can provide for everybody.
But I want to get rid of the two "which" at the beginning. Would this be correct:
The word “utopia” evokes the thought of a society in which mankind can create, and most importantly, maintain a standard of living able to permit life in a balance of liberty, equality and a supply of resources that can provide for everybody.
