Sustainable is to articulate that something such as a natural resources or an environmental scheme may be preserved indefinitely without depleting any of the material or energy sources required to keep it running. Development is the act, or effect of developing. Blending them together is an idea advanced by the World Commission on Environment and Development outlined by them as a pattern of development or progress that fulfills the requirements of the present without sacrificing the ability of succeeding generations to fulfill needs of their own.
We have to understand that we are the keepers of our natural environment and of the whole planet, and because of this fact, we are accountable for all negative affects to any of our ecological systems.
Will sustainable development work? This question is much more intricate than appears on the surface. Environmental organizations are working on politicians to bring about more regulations and enact laws to help protect the natural environment and the whole planet. By starting out with smaller portions of the human population like in residential areas and urban centers, we can little by little, work towards fully sustainable states and nations and finally a truly sustainable planet. Many commercial entities are assisting by means of recycling, using less of our natural resources, cutting pollution and many other eco-friendly practices.
The USA is one of the leaders in this battle, to alter the way earths’ inhabitants interact with the environment. Little by little political leaders are coming forward and doing their part to bring about positive change. Before leaving office, President Bush disclosed plans for the reduction of pollution and global warming, which first are intended to keep these events from occurring and then to reverse them. Esteemed scientists are coming forward and reporting compelling scientific facts with regard to alarming environmental consequences such as greenhouse gases, pollution, El Nino and other atmospheric conditions, that are destroying our planets’ natural atmosphere, which in turn, if not eradicated, can lead to the death of our planet.
As more people are educated to what is happening and learn that we, the human dwellers of planet Earth are answerable for the depletion of our natural resources and for the destruction of the natural environment, then the result will be more people will serve in the effort to fight back and repair what has taken place, resulting in sustainable development becoming an out-and-out reality.
One of the main constructs of sustainable development that must be comprehended and must be practiced by each member of the human race is stewardship, because, whether we like it or not, we are the stewards of the environment surrounding our planet. The proof that sustainable development is succeeding is that we see commercial enterprises continuing to be operational and grow, they will have customers who desire to purchase the products they are producing and they will also have the money with which to produce them.
