INTRODUCTION
Sustainable development includes
questions about how human decisions
affect the Earth's environment
It integrates both the carrying capacity
of the ecosystem as well as the social
developments
Uncontrolled development as per the
need of the modern civilization goes
hand in hand with global environmental
devastation

DEFINITION
meeting the needs of the present
generation without compromising
the needs of the future generation
It is a process in which the
exploitation of resources, the
direction of investments, the
orientation of technological
development and the institutional
charges are all made consistent
with future as well as present needs

Solar Power
Wind Power

FACTS

Energy
In one year people on
earth use up the amount
of fossil fuel it took one
million years to produce
US only uses 17 million
barrels per day
90 % of energy comes
from fossils fuels
Hydro electricity
accounts 4% ,wind
power 1%

Cont
Water
There are 1.8 billion
people in the
developing world
(excluding China)
without access to
fresh water
Freshwater accounts
only 2.5% of earths
water

Cont..
Forest
In 1950, 10% of Earth's land
surface was covered by rain
forests. Now it is 6%
2.5 billion tons of carbon are
added to the atmosphere
12 million hectors of forest
are cleared annually
All tropical forest could be
lost by 2050

Cont..
Global Warming
Temperature in Alaska
have risen by some 4
degree over past 50
years
Earth is going to be
warmer by 5 to 7
degree by 2050
Melting glaciers- 150 in
mid 19th century,37 in
1968 and 27 by today

The situation today

Around 30 000 chemicals on the
commercial market
Around 2 800 substances are produced
in volumes more than 1 000 tons/year
Since 1993 around 5 substances in EU
has been completely been
investigated concerning risks for
humans and environment

Major roots of the

problems

Problems arising from the negative

effects of the process of development:
continuing demand generated by economically
advanced section of the community on countrys
natural resources

Problems arising from the conditions of

poverty and underdevelopment : It deals
with the impact of poverty on the availability of
natural resources of the Indian economy. The
problems particularly important among the rural poor
when such degradation affects soil fertility, quantity
and quality of water ,forests, wildlife and fisheries etc

Impacts of Some of the

Developmental
Activities on theMajor
Environment
Developmental Activities
Impacts on the
Environment
Forest Clearing and Land
Resettlement

Extinction of rare species of flora and fauna,

creation of condition for
mosquito breeding leading to infectious
diseases such as malaria,
dengue etc.

Use of Pesticides

Pesticides used in agriculture sometimes go

into the food chain or in
water bodies that may result in harmful
health hazards.

Agro Industries

Large amount of highly polluting organic

wastes, surface water pollution

Timber Extraction

Degrades land, destroys surface oil,reduces

production potential of
future forests.

Urbanization and
Industrialization

Concentration of population in urban centers

makes huge demands on production in rural
areas and put pressures on land, air and
water
pollution.

Water Resource Projects e.g.

Dam Extensive Irrigation

Human settlement and resettlement, spread

of waterborne diseases,

Nuclear Threat
Nuclear
explosions
in
space
disabled
distant
satellites
Many species of plants
and
animals
would
become extinct.
Carrying of dust and soot
from the northern to the
southern hemisphere
The solar ultraviolet flux
would be much larger than
its present value
It
will
destroy
the
protective ozone layer

Deforestation
In India in the
year 2006 it has
been found that
nearly 7cr
tribal's and 20 cr
non tribal's are
dependent upon
forest

Water Pollution
Falling ground water
table
Soil loss
Net withdrawals
along their course
due to agricultural,
industrial and
municipal
Pollution from human
and animal wastes,
Agricultural run offs
and industrial
effluents.

Population Explosion
Poverty
More greenhouse gases
Prices of goods will
increase
Loss of natural
environments
A pressure upon
resources
Solid wastes (organic and
inorganic waste)
Less employment
opportunities

The Ten
commandments
Of Eco-friendly
lifestyle

Save energy to save

money
Set your thermostat a few
degrees lower in the winter and a
few degrees higher in the summer
Install compact fluorescent light
bulbs (CFLs)
Unplug appliances when you're
not using them
Wash clothes in cold water
whenever possible

Save water to save

money
Take shorter
showers to
reduce water use
Install a low-flow
showerhead
Save each drop
of water
Recycle water

Think before you buy

Go online to find new
or gently used
secondhand products
Borrow from libraries
instead of buying
personal books and
movies
Invest in high-quality,
long-lasting products
Check labels

Keep electronics out of the

trash

Mobile phones are

designed to work for at
least 10 years
Keep your cell phones,
computers, and other
electronics as long as
possible
Share your mobile
handset if possible
Ask your local
government to set up an
electronics recycling and
hazardous waste
collection event

Repair ,reuse and

recycle ( 3 R)
Where possible, try to

repair something rather

than replace it
Think about buying

things you can reuse,

rather than disposable
versions

Use renewable energy

Use clean energy
Use solar

heater,cooker,batte
ries
Wind is the fastest

growing energy
source worldwide

Choose less packaging

Buy in bulk to avoid

excessive packaging
Avoid products that

have more packaging

Bring your own bags

while shopping

Buy local
Shop at farmer's
market for food. That
cuts down on the
transportation
Buy locally raised,
humane, and organic
meat, eggs, and
dairy whenever you
can. Purchasing from
local farmers keeps
money in the local
economy

Save fuel
Walk more, Drive
Less
Buy a More
Efficient Car
Use alternate
transportation

Teach Your Children Well

Teach your children the importance
of taking care of our environment
and teach them ways they can
preserve it

Plant a Tree
Make your life carbon free Plant
a tree
today for your kids

It is better to prevent and

prepare
rather than to repent and
repair

NATURE PROVIDES A FREE LUNCH, BUT

ONLY IF WE CONTROL OUR
APPETITES.
