Water
The supply of fresh drinking water from rivers and ponds is limited worldwide. Due to pollution, these water bodies
are contaminated, leaving very little water available for actual use.
Fuel
Forests are cut down for fuel leaving barren land where soil erosion will lead to soil degradation and a drastic
change in climatic conditions. An increase in the consumption of oil and natural gas has led to an increase in the
level of carbon dioxide causing a change in the climatic conditions. We are using a lot of wood from trees for the
construction of homes and furniture. Extreme weather conditions, such as floods, extreme cold, or heat, are seen
in many places, which affect the people living there.
An environment friendly method for power production is utilising solar energy, which is derived from the unlimited
energy of the sun. Sustainable Development includes:
• reducing excessive use of resources and enhancing resources conservation.
• recycling and reuse of waste materials.
• scientific management of renewable resources, especially bio-resources.
• planting more trees.
• green grassy patches and trees to be interspersed between concrete buildings.
• using more environment friendly material or biodegradable material.
• use of technologies, which are environmental friendly and based on efficient use of resources.
