The economy and environment need to be balanced in Sparksville because they are independent on another. The reason for this is that the economy depends on the state of the environment and the economy also can destroy the environment and therefore balance is required to ensure equity. Social responsibility, ability and change are the key principles way to reaching environmental sustainability.
The reasons for using these as the key principles for making the environmental sustainable is as follows. Change is a principle that will be used to make people that are unaware of that they are harming the environment to be made to conserve the environment. Change is quite a difficult principle to effect on people as they tend to resist it. Change will be embraced through educating the people and making them participate in exercises that conserve the environment. Ability is a principle that will keep people to protect their environment. It is what that will keep pushing them forward to conserve the environment at all costs.
