Customer-oriented Environmental Sustainability Inas much tis believed that controling the global population size would certainly help in achieving environmental sustainably; however statistical analysis anc projection show thatthe global population would have to increase and therefore this might not be sustainable. Thus changing the customer-oriented lifestyle in developed nations would be more sustainable. Environmental sustainability should aim at capturing environmental systems dynamics by building adaptive and resilient systems. It should aim ‘at achieving pollution control by reducing environmental pollutants such as greenhouse gases and other gases which directly ‘ang indirectly affect human lives and the environment such as sulfides. Thus ensuring sustainable transportation and energy- related activities as wel as ecological actvtles would better help achieve environmental sustainability. Customer-oriented environmental sustainability aims at achieving efficiency in environmental resource usage and thereby reducing waste and ‘negative impacts of human activities on the environment through continuous innovation (Leighton Asia, 2010), ‘Adopting new and modern environmentally sustainable structures to achieve energy efficiency would better help achieve energy efficiency and hence environmental sustainability. The use of fossl fuels contributes more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and is, therefore, the major source of global climatic change, These greenhouse gases are absorbed into the ozone layer and therefore allow shortwave rays to enter the lower atmosphere and also maintain most ofthe reflected waves in the lower atmosphere and therefore increasing the global heat, Ths, therefore, implies that developing and adopting alternative ‘more eficant technologies for energy sources such as wind energy and natural gas would therefore be more effective in ‘achieving customer-oriented environmental sustainability. Building ang adopting new transportation technolagies would also help decrease greenhouse gas emissions and also improve the fuel economy. This would include bullding vehicles and airraft which are environmentally friendly and also consume less fuel (Leighton Asia, 2010). Developing biofuels from feedstock production would also help reduce the overreliance on petroleum by consumers ang hence help reduce the environmental Impacts of the use of petroleum (Wright, 2007). CCustomer-oriented environmental sustainabilty would also help evaluate the environmental impacts of activities, products 2s well as processes on the environment anc humen health. Evaluating the impacts of chemicals before they are made open to the Consumers would help minimize the impacts of chemicals and industrial effluents on the environment and human health (US Environmental Protection Agency, 2010), CCustomer-oriented environmental sustainability would also help develop land usage systems that are almed at protecting the environment, Measures would be taken to reduce toxicity trash on the environment and hence protect the wildlife, agricultural land, and the water systems. Customer-oriented environmental sustainability would ensure that those in charge of providing services and products to consumers such as water services in societies alm at harvesting water from the watersheds while at the same putting n place measures that conserve the environment. I would algo help develop and Implement measures that conserve natural resources which are aimed at satisfying consumers such as wildlife and other scenic features (US Environmental Protection Agency, 2010),Conclusion ‘There isa need for society to contemplate embracing public policy perceptions that advocate for sustainability by way of ‘making sure that our present security, social needs, and economic issues do not weaken the base of our natural resources to preserve future generations, Thus we should decrease the industry's use of natural resources and also reduce their negative Impacts on our environment Reference List Leighton Asta, (2010) Leighton Asia: Customer-oriented construction services, Web.
