Nowadays, the place we live in has become so modernized. Everything seems convenient with the technology fed to us that greatly satisfies our every need. Sounds great, right? Yet, are we aware of the perils our environment would be facing due to some harsh effects of modernization? This is where the context of sustainable development comes in.
What then is sustainable development?
Sustainable development is maintaining a delicate balance between the human need to improve lifestyles and feeling of well-being on one hand, and preserving natural resources and ecosystems, on which we and future generations depend. This means that we must adopt lifestyles and accept developments that respect nature. In addition to this, we are able to meet our everyday needs without compromising our environment.Our day-to-day activities and the natural world must have a stable relationship to not prevent the future generations from enjoying the quality of life that we have right now.
I personally believe that sustainable development must be inculcated in the minds of the people. We must be responsible enough to manage the risks of technology. We should meet essential needs for jobs, food, energy, water, and sanitation. Individual participation in political decisions and policies that affect our lives is very important, especially of those that concern our environment. This is definitely a must for achieving sustainable development. We must be careful in not exhausting our natural resources. Above all, we should learn to take part in conserving our planet.Indeed, humanity must share with each other and care for the Earth.
