Did you ever wonder what people meant when they talk about sustainable development? How is it going to affect your everyday life? Many people hear and use this word without even paying attention to its meaning. Indeed this has become quite fashionable and we can see it on every media. In order to help you learn more on this I have written this short article on sustainable development and how it might affect you.
Sustainable development is about picking out a model of economic development that will not have any damaging effect on the environment and society in general. Said differently this imply that we should not favor development at all cost and hinders the capacity of the future generation to cater for their needs. As you will have probably observed by now sustainable development is more than only caring for the environment.
Do you desire to learn more on this topic? This French article on sustainable development (developpement personnel) should be interesting to read as it bears some useful point. Secondly sustainable development asks that we have a more efficient utilization of energy. It is also important that we consider our future generation when it amounts to energy sources. This means that we should preserve our natural and non-renewable energy sources as far as possible.
It is only in this manner that we can give our children and grand-children a great environment. French readers that desire to discover more on this can have a look at this article on ecology (eco pret a taux 0) as it holds some useful information.
When we talk about sustainability we should also not forget about pollution. Indeed this line is sometime so confusing that people may employ both words interchangeably. This is why many proponents of sustainable development propose a shift to organic farming as less chemicals are used in this method. Doing this should indeed assist in preserving the environment. Those that read French can check out this text on organic food (recettes potimarron) so as to discover more on this.Sustainable development is a really interesting topic that the world will need to tackle. With our current model of economic development we will not be going anywhere and it will be high time that world leaders come together and solve this problem once and for all. But with the interest of certain people at stake this can be a wasted effort.
