Sustainable development

• Sustainable development, according to one
  definition, demands that we seek ways of living,
  working and being that enable all people of the
  world to lead healthy, fulfilling, and
  economically secure lives without destroying the
  environment and without endangering the future
  welfare of people and the planet.
• The intensified and unsustainable demand for
  land, water marine and coastal resources
  resulting from the expansion of agriculture and
  uncontrolled urbanisation lead to increased
  degradation of natural ecosystems and erode the
  life supporting systems that uphold human
  civilisation. Caring for natural resources and
  promoting their sustainable use is an essential
  response of the world community to ensure its own
  survival and well being. (source Sustainable
  Management and Use of Natural Resources
  (http//www.unep.org/unep/sub1.htm))
• Many people reject the term sustainable
  development as an overall term in favor of
  sustainability, and reserve sustainable
  development only for specific development
  activities.

VOCABULARY

• Development
• The process of growing or developing. Synonymous
  words include evolution, progress,
  advance.These nouns mean a progression from a
  simpler or lower to a more advanced, mature, or
  complex form or stage "the development of an
  idea into reality" "the evolution of a plant
  from a seed" "attempts made to foster social
  progress."

4
 

• Sustainable
• (of economic development or energy sources)
  capable of being maintained at a steady level
  without exhausting natural resources or causing
  ecological damage
• Sustainable development
• A pattern of resource use that aims to meet human
  needs while preserving the environment so that
  these needs can be met not only in the present,
  but in the indefinite future. It's a development
  that "meets the needs of the present without
  compromising the ability of future generations to
  meet their own needs."

5
 

• Resource
• Any physical or virtual entity of limited
  availability, or anything used to help one earn a
  living. As resources are very useful, we attach
  some information value to them. Resources help to
  produce goods so they have economic value.
  Natural resources like forests, mountains etc.
  are very beautiful so they have aesthetic value.
  Gifts of nature such as water also have a legal
  value because it is our right to enjoy them. On
  the other hand, resources have an ethical value
  as well because it is our moral duty to protect
  and conserve them for the future generations.

6
 

• Environment
• The surroundings in which a person, animal, or
  plant lives.the natural world of land, sea, air,
  plants, and animals."Nuclear waste must be
  prevented from leaking into the environment"
• Ecology
• The scientific study of the distribution and
  abundance of life and the interactions between
  organisms and their natural environment.

7
 

• Natural resources
• Natural resources are derived from the
  environment. Many of them are essential for our
  survival while others are used for satisfying our
  wants.
• Resource development
• Many resources cannot be consumed in their
  original form. They have to be processed in order
  to change them into more usable commodities. This
  is known as resource development. With the rise
  in human numbers all over the world, the demand
  for resources has also increased. However, there
  is a difference in distribution of resources to
  different regions or countries. Developed
  countries use more resources than developing
  countries.

8
 

• Desertification
• Desertification is the degradation of land in
  arid and dry sub-humid areas, resulting primarily
  from human activities and influenced by climatic
  variations. It's also a failure of the ecological
  succession process.
• Deforestation
• Deforestation is the conversion of (forest)ed
  areas to non-forested land, for uses such as
  pasture, urban use, logging purposes, and can
  result in arid land and wastelands. In many
  countries, deforestation is ongoing and is
  shaping climate and geography. Deforestation
  results from removal of trees without sufficient
  reforestation, and results in declines in habitat
  and biodiversity, wood for fuel and industrial
  use, and quality of life.

A SONG....

• 5. EARTH SONG MICHAEL JACKSON
• Though Michael Jackson had been writing socially
  conscious songs, this was his first overtly
  environment oriented number. It received a Grammy
  nomination in 1997.
• If ever we doubt unconditional love and
  generosity, look to Mother Earth. She is the
  supreme teacher of both. She feeds, nourishes,
  heals and clothes us without expecting anything
  in return. Yet, as the King put it, look what we
  have done.  Mother Earths stalwart advocate of
  peace and love, poses questions that check all
  sides. As much as he gave a damn, do we give a
  damn?

THE THREE "R"

• Reduce
• Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the
  best way to help the environment. There are lots
  of ways to do this. For example
• Buy products that don't have a lot of packaging.
  Some products are wrapped in many layers of
  plastic and paperboard even though they don't
  need to be. You can also look for things that are
  packed in materials that don't require a lot of
  energy or resources to produce. Some products
  will put that information right on their labels.
• Instead of buying something you're not going to
  use very often, see if you can borrow it from
  someone you know.
• Cars use up energy and cause pollution. Some ways
  to reduce the environmental damage caused by cars
  include carpooling with friends, walking, taking
  the bus, or riding your bike instead of driving.
• Start a compost bin. Some people set aside a
  place in their yard where they can dispose of
  certain food and plant materials. Over time, the
  materials will break down through a natural
  process called decomposition. The compost is good
  for the soil in your yard and means that less
  garbage will go to the landfill.
• You can reduce waste by using a computer! Many
  newspapers and magazines are online now. Instead
  of buying the paper versions, you can find them
  on the Internet. Also remember that you should
  print out only what you need. Everything you
  print that you don't really need is a waste of
  paper.
• Save energy by turning off lights that you are
  not using.
• Save water by turning off the faucet while you
  brush your teeth.

14
 

• Reuse
• Instead of throwing things away, try to find ways
  to use them again! For example
• Bring cloth sacks to the store with you instead
  of taking home new paper or plastic bags. You can
  use these sacks again and again. You'll be saving
  some trees!
• Plastic containers and reusable lunch bags are
  great ways to take your lunch to school without
  creating waste.
• Coffee cans, shoe boxes, margarine containers,
  and other types of containers people throw away
  can be used to store things or can become fun
  arts and crafts projects. Use your imagination!
• Don't throw out clothes, toys, furniture, and
  other things that you don't want anymore.
  Somebody else can probably use them. You can
  bring them to a center that collects donations,
  give them to friends, or even have a yard sale.
• Use all writing paper on both sides.
• Use paper grocery bags to make book covers rather
  than buying new ones.
• Use silverware and dishes instead of disposable
  plastic utensils and plates.
• Store food in reusable plastic containers.

15
 

• Recycle
• Many of the things we use every day, like paper
  bags, soda cans, and milk cartons, are made out
  of materials that can be recycled. Recycled items
  are put through a process that makes it possible
  to create new products out of the materials from
  the old ones.
• In addition to recycling the things you buy, you
  can help the environment by buying products that
  contain recycled materials. Many brands of paper
  towels, garbage bags, greeting cards, and toilet
  paper, to name a few examples, will tell you on
  their labels if they are made from recycled
  materials.
• In some towns you can leave your recyclables in
  bins outside your home, and a truck will come and
  collect them regularly. Other towns have
  recycling centers where you can drop off the
  materials you've collected. Things like paper and
  plastic grocery bags, and plastic and aluminum
  cans and bottles can often be brought to the
  grocery store for recycling. Whatever your system
  is, it's important to remember to rinse out and
  sort your recyclables!

• Our three R

RENEWABLE ENERGY

• Renewable energy is energy which comes from
  natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain,
  tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable
  (naturally replenished). About 16 of global
  final energy consumption comes from renewables,
  with 10 coming from traditional biomass, which
  is mainly used for heating, and 3.4 from
  hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro,
  modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and
  biofuels) accounted for another 2.8 and are
  growing very rapidly.1 The share of renewables
  in electricity generation is around 19, with 16
  of global electricity coming from
  hydroelectricity and 3 from new renewables.2

19
 

• New and emerging renewable energy technologies
• New and emerging renewable energy technologies
  are still under development and include
  cellulosic ethanol, hot-dry-rock geothermal
  power, and ocean energy.69 These technologies
  are not yet widely demonstrated or have limited
  commercialization. Many are on the horizon and
  may have potential comparable to other renewable
  energy technologies, but still depend on
  attracting sufficient attention and research,
  development and demonstration (RDD) funding.69

• Solar Energy Ron Brown
• Oh, the sun is a star.Its our closest
  star.Its just 93 million miles away.
• It gives us heat and light.It makes the world
  just right.Were getting solar energy every day.
• Solar power heats our water and homesAnd it
  makes electricity.Solar power is a natural
  resourceWhen we convert its energy.
• Oh, the sun is a star.Its light can travel
  far.Hot gases burn at 10,000 degrees.
• As it shines its light,Plants can grow just
  right,So the Earth is great for you and me.
• Solar power heats our water and homesAnd it

CULTURAL AND NATURAL ENVIOREMENT

• The term cultural environment functions as a
  general term referring to an environment that has
  been developed from various stages in culture
  interacting with nature. Meanings,
  interpretations and names given by people are
  also elements of this category. The cultural
  environment is a totality, encompassing built
  cultural environment, cultural landscape and
  ancient relics.
•  
• Built cultural environment, or building heritage,
  is the most visible part of the cultural
  environment. It encompasses buildings and their
  interior and exterior appendages, structures,
  built-up areas in the form of yards and parks,
  and infrastructure such as roads, canals, bridges
  or lighthouses. The built cultural environment is
  thus formed from the urban structure.
•  
• Cultural landscape. The landscape is divided into
  natural landscape and cultural landscape. Broadly
  described, the cultural landscape is shaped by
  human activity, whereas the natural landscape is
  shaped by nature and its processes. The cultural
  landscape can also be divided into a landscape
  shaped by human activity interacting with nature,
  forming a countryside cultural landscape, and a
  city landscape shaped almost exclusively by
  humans i.e. an urban cityscape. The cultural
  landscape and environment are not only distinct
  or separated areas, but are also separate
  entities forming a continuous areal and temporal
  totality.
•  
• Cultural vegetation refers to vegetation
  extensively shaped by human activity, such as
  farmlands, traditional landscapes and parks.
  Cultural plants originate from gardens and
  cultivations, having dispersed into the wild.
•  
• Cultural plants are species of plants that have
  spread to the wild from gardens and cultivations.

24
CULTURAL AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

• Natural Cultural Environment
• The protection and enhancement of the natural and
  cultural environment is a cornerstone of
  sustainable development. The environmental
  resources within the sub-region are finite and
  must be managed in a sustainable manner for
  future generations.
•  
• An emphasis has been placed on protection of
  significant natural and physical resources in the
  formulation of plans under the Resource
  Management Act 1991. This provides a solid
  foundation for the SmartGrowth strategy.

GLOBAL VILLAGE

• DEFENITION Global village, is the term used to
  describe the world shrunk into a village by the
  means of the different media types, most
  especially the World Wide Web, making it easy to
  pass across messgaes (like the news), thereby
  making the world become like a single village
  where people can easily contact each other
  quicker.

28
CULTURAL DIVERSITY

• The many separate societies that emerged around
  the globe differed markedly from each other, and
  many of these differences persist to this day. As
  well as the more obvious cultural differences
  that exist between people, such as language,
  dress and traditions, there are also significant
  variations in the way societies organize
  themselves, in their shared conception of
  morality, and in the ways they interact with
  their environment. Cultural diversity can be seen
  as analogous to biodiversity.

29
AND THIS IS OUR GOAL

• Global citizenship applies the whole world to
  bring world peace and the concept of citizenship
  to a global level and is strongly connected with
  the concepts of globalization and
  cosmopolitanism. World citizenship is a term
  which can be distinguished from global
  citizenship, although some may merge the two
  concepts.citation needed Various ideas about
  what a global citizen is exist. Global
  citizenship can be defined as a moral and ethical
  disposition which can guide the understanding of
  individuals or groups of local and global
  contexts, and remind them of their relative
  responsibilities within various communities. The
  term was used by U.S. President Barack Obama in
  2008 in a speech in Berlin.
•  
• According to some articles, in this century
  children and students are meant to become "global
  citizens" through their education. This is
  possible through an integration of the
  "scientific and technical skills" as well as the
  "traditional academic disciplines".
•  
• According to some accounts, citizenship is
  motivated by local interests (love of family,
  communal fairness, self-interest), global
  interests (a sense of universal equality), and
  concern for fellow human beings, human rights and
  human dignity. The key tenets of global
  citizenship include respect for any and all
  fellow global citizens, regardless of race,
  religion or creed and give rise to a universal
  sympathy beyond the barriers of nationality.
  These sentiments were initially summarized by the
  British author, pamphleteer and revolutionary
  Thomas Paine in Rights of Man
