Importance of Sustainable Development

necessory.
Problems Related to Sustainable
Development
► Three major problems related to ., sustainable development are:
► Food: The amount of rich, iert~e land '~eeded to g,ow crops. such as wheel .
rice. etc.. is becoming less as we ore using up more and more land for other
purposes. Soil nutrients ore also getting depleted and lots of chemicals are
spoiling the soil due lo use or c.:hemlcal fertilisers:
► Woter: We use fresh water from rivers oncfponds for drinking and cleaning but
dump garbage into them. The rivers and ponds are getting polluted. This way
after several years. we will liove no clean wo_ter for our use.
► Fuel: We ore using a lei of wood from trees as fuels and for construction of
homes and furniture. As more and more trees ore being cut. it is affecting 'he
c limate of the place. Extreme weather conditions. such as Hoods. extreme cold
or heat. ore seen in many places, whicl1 oflecl the people living there.

Below Water
► Tons of plastic is found
in the seas, which is
killing marine life.
Protecting marine life,
saving our oceans from
pollution is necessary
to preserve the marine
life.
Protect Life on Land

► Cutting of trees is leading

to soil erosion and making

land dry and unusable for
cultivation. Planting more
tree to replace the ones
that we have cut is an
important step towards
sustainable development
