    According to the Rostow model of economic development all countries go through five different stages: traditional society, preconditions for take-off, take-off, drive to maturity and age of high mass consumption. As these countries go through the stages of the model, their demand for certain resources changes. For example, a traditional economy’s resources would be much more fundamental, such as firewood and water, than an economy of high mass consumption which would include the basic raw materials as well as finite fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas to supply the mass consumers of the society.…

    Environmental sustainability and economic development can be considered contending imperatives. We as humans have a burning desire for economic growth and prosperity, while at the same time we have a need for the resources the planet provides us. Typically in order to grow our economy it requires that we deplete natural resources such as lumber, oil and minerals by means of deforestation, drilling and mining. It is important for us to realize that if we do not deal with environmental issues right now; the consequences could be devastating not only to ourselves, but to future generations. We are now seeing more and more concern for ‘sustainable development’ that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” [1]…
