Sustainable development is a way for people to use resources without being run out. The term used by the Brundtl and Commission defined it as development with sustainability that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Sustainable development can usually be grouped into three issues. People need: First, a better environment, that means green spaces, play areas, no litter, nice gardens, decent houses, less noise and pollution, Second, the resources used should renew over generations, a better economy ~ that means jobs, reasonable prices, cheaper heat and light. Finally, people need better social conditions ~ that means good leisure facilities, lots of community groups offering sports and arts, friendly neighbors. All life on Earth depends on the environment. The natural resources that come from the environment include food, water, plants, and minerals. Environmental sustainable development is the idea that humans must interact with the environment in a way that ensures there will be enough resources left for future generations. There are now more than seven billion people on Earth. These billions of people use the planet’s resources every day. Human activity has harmed the environment in many ways. Some of the resources that people use cannot be replaced once they are used. People also use huge amounts of fossil fuels, which has led to pollution and other problems. Sustainability addresses ways to protect and conserve the environment, There are many ways in which environmental sustainability can be achieved. As individuals corporations and government bodies, we can take small but effective steps toward a more sustainable lifestyle.
