sustainable development defines as:
“Development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability

Environmental Integrity- means that any
human activities or economic advances
should not unduly disrupt the environment
and human communities located in the area.
The environment should not be drastically
impacted by human activities (Abella,
2016).
Economic efficiency- this is to
ensure that there is minimum to
zero waste in using our natural
resources (Abella, 2016).
Equity- it refers to conserving our
natural resources so that the future
generations will still be able to use
it (Abella, 2016).
The influence of humanity on the environment can
be best understood if we consider the individual as
a dynamic source of change within his/her
particular environment. There are theories that can
explain how the humanity address environmental
problem. These theories offers ways to value care,
conservation, and preservation of nature and
humanity.
