Topic 1: Intro to sustainability (definitions and terms) what is sustainability: sustainability is the capacity to endure. “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Commission of the UN on March‚ 20‚ 1987) “Three pillars” of sustainability: environmental‚ social equity‚ and economic demands. A certain view of sustainability‚ which uses three overlapping circles indicating

The increase in population and the demand for consumer goods has also lead to the biggest increase in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) by 165% compared to 69% increase in population in the same period (Wetherly and Otter‚ 2nd edition). The impact on greenhouse gasses has definitely been proven with environmental monitoring showing depletion of the Ozone Layer‚ the Ice Cap and the increase

being coal power plants. These plants release greenhouse gas emissions and particle air pollution. The burning of the coal creates pollutant byproducts. Other forms of industrial pollution‚ exhaust fumes‚ burning wood‚ and several forms of indoor air pollutants result in air contamination. The combination of various air contaminates can be extremely toxic. The pollutants irritate the lungs and may even cause respiratory diseases and cancer in humans (Donnatelle‚ 2010).

The increasing economic development and a rapidly growing population that has taken the country from 300 million people in 1947 to more than one billion people today is putting a strain on the environment‚ infrastructure‚ and the country’s natural resources.

thousands of years. But recently‚ in the advanced society of the present‚ humans have been taking advantage of Earth’s energy resources. Every day‚ an average United States resident uses about 29 pounds of worth of coal in electrical energy; that adds up to more than five tons of coal a year. In addition to that‚ the average United States citizen also uses 500 gallons of gasoline each year. If one person‚ alone‚ consumes that enormous amount of energy‚ imagine how much whole world consumes. There

Human activities in the last several decades have produced chemicals‚ such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)‚ which have been released into the atmosphere and have contributed to the depletion [->1]of this important protective layer. When scientists realized the destructive effect these chemicals could have on the ozone layer‚ international agreements [->2]were put in place to limit such emissions. As a result‚ it is expected that the
