 SUSTAINABILITY

• Sustainability means meeting our own needs without

compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need
social and economic resources.

WHAT ARE THE 3 PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY?

 The principles of sustainability are the foundations of what this
concept represents. Therefore, sustainability is made up of three
pillars: economy, society, and the environment. These principles
are also informally used as profit, people and planet.
PRINCIPLES OF
SUSTAINABILITY
 ENVIRONMENTAL
 The environment can
be defined as a sum total
of all the living and non-
living elements and their
effects which influence
human life. While all living
or biotic elements are
animals, plants, forests,
fisheries, and birds, etc.
The non-living or abiotic
elements include water,
land, sunlight, rocks, and
air, etc.
RELATIONSHIP SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
• Sustainable development is based on the four pillars of sustainability: social, economic,
technological environmental sustainability.
• Environment sustainable development is a collection of tools and procedures for testing, developing
and debugging a program or application.
• Environment sustainable development reduces poverty, global warming, acid rain, pollution, urban
sprawl, waste disposal, climate change and many more, through financial, environmental, and
social and technical means.
• The relationship between man and the environment is an innate and eternal relationship as long as
the environment is the framework from which man obtains the elements of his life as it is a result of
meeting these needs of environmental resources and systems.
• The concept of sustainable development has led to the emergence of a new development philosophy
that takes into account the limited natural environmental resources and the limits of the Earth's
ability to withstand exhaustion stress on the one hand and pollution and degradation on the other
GREEN
TECHNOLOGIES
WHAT IS GREEN TECHNOLOGY?

• The term “technology” refers to the Application Of Knowledge For Practical Purposes.

• The field of “green technology” encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods and
materials, from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic cleaning products.

• The present expectation is that this field will bring innovation and changes in daily life of
similar magnitude to the “information technology” explosion over the last two decades. In
these early stages, it is impossible to predict what “green technology” may eventually
encompass.
The goals that inform developments in this rapidly growing field include:

SUSTAINABILITY – meeting the needs of society in ways that can continue indefinitely into
the future without damaging or depleting natural resources. In short, meeting present
needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

“CRADLE TO CRADLE” DESIGN – ending the “cradle to grave” cycle of manufactured

products, by creating products that can be fully reclaimed or re-used.

SOURCE REDUCTION – reducing waste and pollution by changing patterns of production

and consumption.

INNOVATION – developing alternatives to technologies – whether fossil fuel or chemical

intensive agriculture – that have been demonstrated to damage health and the
environment.

VIABILITY – creating a center of economic activity around technologies and products that
benefit the environment, speeding their implementation and creating new careers that truly
protect the planet.

WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT??
The greenhouse effect works much the
same way on Earth. Gases in the
atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap
heat just like the glass roof of a
greenhouse. These heat-trapping gases
are called greenhouse gases.

During the day, the Sun shines through the

atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up in
the sunlight. At night, Earth's surface cools,
releasing heat back into the air. But some
of the heat is trapped by the greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere.

That's what keeps our Earth a warm and

cozy 58 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees
Celsius), on average.
