Sustainable Development

Sustainable development is a pattern of economic growth in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come. The concept of sustainable development is often broken out into three constituent parts: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and sociopolitical sustainability. Today I am going to talk about environmental sustainability.

Our development is not sustainable, because deforestation, overpopulation and global warming.

 

Deforestation, it refers to the loss of natural forest logging and burning. Deforestation due to agriculture, logging operations for timber and urbanization. Farmers to create space for the land to grow crops, grazing animals; felling of trees to manufacture paper and other related products; also urbanization, overpopulation need more land to build the building. Although forest cover about 30% of the earth, the world's rain forests could completely disappear hundred years at the current rate of deforestation.

 

 

More important is that overpopulation is one of a major cause of environmental degradation, overpopulation lead to increased pollution, use of resources, especially non-renewable resources, and need more space for people to live and work. It will cause a lot of problems.

 

 

Rising sea levels due to global warming, causing flooding in low-lying areas. Another 40% of the increase in storm activity and the extinction of wildlife species. Global warming is about the past 50 years, especially since the 1980s, the increase in temperature has been found all over the world. This is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels. The most the country widely used fossil fuel transport. In contrast, there are many types of renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy are constantly replenished and will never run out.

 

 

But now we should be aware of this problem, we should leave a good environment for our future generations. Therefore, we can try to deal with. We can control the population, reduce pollution and carbon dioxide emissions and prevent deforestation.

 

 

Now, we invented renewable resources, in order to reduce the use of non-renewable resources, non-renewable resources are scarce and non-renewable resources such as fuel emissions harmful to the environment, it can be caused by global warming, soil erosion and air pollution. Therefore, some of the new power has been widely used, such as wind power, solar power, wave power generation. Is more important is that the waste can be recycled, such as paper, plastic. The same time, we can also reuse water, because it is scarce, for example, we can use the water to wash vegetables and wiping the floor, then we can use the water last, we can use it to rinse cotton printing cloth. In this manner, it can be more sustainable.

 

 

Development is something that is essential for the survival of human beings. So as long as people know how to keep development sustainable, and understand how to apply it in the developmental progress, it will help humanity to keep on evolving.
