Looking into sustainable development

Are you one of those that think that we should move towards a more sustainable model of development? This is indeed a great vision but unfortunately there are not a lot of people that understand what it entails. Some people even use the word sustainability to describe something that is it not. In this article I will be providing an overview of sustainable development in order to help the novices learn more on this.

Sustainable development is about selecting a model of economic development that will not have any detrimental effect on the environment and society generally. Said otherwise this mean that we should not favor growth at all cost and hinders the capacity of the future generation to supply for their needs. Contrary to what some people think sustainable development is more than ecology exclusively. Do you need to find more on this issue? This French article on sustainable development (developpement personnel) should be useful to read as it holds some useful point.

Second sustainable development asks that we have a more effective use of energy. It is also important that we consider our future generation when it gets to energy sources. This is why it is essential that we adopt some effective way to preserve energy. It is only in this way that we can give our children and grand-children a great environment. One French article that I have lately discovered is ecology (prêt écologique à taux zéro) and should be worth taking a look.

When we speak of sustainability we should also not forget about pollution. This is the reason why we frequently employ the word sustainability in the same sentence. 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 help to preserve the environment. French readers that require to find more can check out this text on organic food (recette potimarron) in order to read more on this.

Sustainable development has indeed become a hot topic nowadays. The world will not be able to sustain the current economic model for a long time without giving rise to social, environmental or economical crisis. Instead of waiting for these things to happen we will be better off tackling the problem at the root. But no one seems to care.
