Environmental sustainability of a mirage
Environmental sustainability of a mirage IntroductionTrying for adults have completed more than a concrete definition? Sustainability ", is by far one of the most demanding work. Even if the various organizations and thinkers have tried their best to explore, analyze and offer them a precise meaning, but without success, seems to be the common thread to the environment, society and economy, through them all. Northwest Environment Watch, a non-profit research and communication center based in Seattle, has a definition for me, by far the closest to them. He said that the sustainability of an economy and way of life in which man and nature to create a culture, the last ". The Executive Order 00-07, the govement of John Kitzhaber of Oregon State in May of 2000, who says? Sustainability means using, developing and protecting resources at a speed and in a way that allows you to implement their needs and also provides that future generations of their own needs. It is also a step further and say that "Sustainability requires simultaneously meeting environmental, economic and community needs." This, in tu, almost co-operation refers to Northwest Environment Watch? S stand. Let us now venture by three of the major influencers, and to analyze their role in achieving the goal of world population sustainability.Growth Agenda 21, the Earth Summit strategy to save our planet. (Sitarz 1993) explains very well the relationship between population growth and health of the planet? The spiraling growth of world population fuels worldwide growth in production and consumption. Rapid increase in demand for natural resources, employment, education and social services make any attempts to protect natural resources and improvement of living conditions very difficult. There is an immediate need to develop strategies for control of world population growth. (P. 44) scientists for some time, it was noted that the land, if we believe that it? spherical shape, and has a capacity limit that you can lead or support. The population of the planet, is rising sharply, will soon lead to full exploitation of the World? S is the natural resources. As observed (May 1993): ... the nature and extent of human activities have, for the first time, to rival the natural processes built, that the biosphere and maintain as a place where life can flourish. Many facts prove this assertion. E 'anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of the earth, particularly to improve productivity by photosynthesis of terrestrial plants and marine, is now available for human use. That is very alert. If you compare the population growth, the current pace, we would be in a situation in which sustainability is a myth. Therefore, at any point of time, the growth of population isolation. The growth in relation to natural resources of the planet is one that strengthens conce.Govements, association and individual clients of credibility, have always mounted, and said that the ratings? Something? Are you going to do? save the life and earth. Climate change is an issue on the agenda in almost every summit. But all that discussion and the so-called? The action plans? are vague terms, how? We need to control the population?. Never before has the current action taken steps to stop the growth of the population. The report called Agenda 21, the World Summit strategy to save our earth, under the title "The policies of the national population" is to support that? The long-term growth of human population must be fully understood by all nations. It is necessary to quickly develop and implement appropriate programs to cope with the inevitable increase in population numbers. (P. 45). Surprisingly, these reports, which are also contradictory. First, it does not define concrete measures to boost growth, even if I play the whole problem at hand. On the one hand it says that there is an immediate need? Control? Population growth to achieve the goal of sustainability. In the same breath, but also stressed that the growth of the population? Inevitable?. So if they believe that population growth is inevitable, despite all their claims of society? Appropriate measures? measures to reduce or control the population growth makes sustainability sounds like an oxymoron. Not? T? Consumers? Oriented LifestyleIn basis of definitions of sustainability mentioned above, the consumer-oriented lifestyle is best analyzed by an approach to environmental and social practices. There have been pushing the guilt of an ever growing population of environmental crisis too underdeveloped and developing countries to date. Apart from the fact that our house is not a lesser evil in this sense there is something greater than our lifestyle-oriented consumer, which make an essential contribution to the killing of existing natural resources and has become an important topic to be addressed for the purpose of sustainability.According Prof. dr. ire. G. The Saracens in its approach to social practices of environmental policies, theory, methodology and policy development for sustainable domestic consumption,? The social practices approach is an integrative model to analyze and in-stand transitions towards sustainable consumption at the level of everyday life?. He also states that the individual consumer? Developing 'story-line "with regard to the environmental dimension of their way of life and the legality and rationality of the decisions on the various segments of their way of life?. The three main requirements of an individual in a society, namely the home and the care, nutrition, travel and transport, have led to rapid urbanization and the construction of Home, the increase of vehicles and road construction the preparation of food, buildings and factories. As you can see, an approach to consumption is directly proportional to industrialization, which is in tu a direct impact on the environment and its natural resources. If the need of the day is the rapid agricultural opportunities for the depletion of natural resources, the environment, is not it? Ta consumer-oriented life-style choices? S need food, a contradiction to the achievement of sustainability? StewardshipThe last issue we would like to explore the role of management. Sustainability is not just an individual problem or issue. Although the life of every individual in this world, is the extent of the problem is so great that no single department or the govement can be held accountable. This is a global problem and must be together. The neglect was a direct attribution of responsibility was one of the biggest problems is not in the direction of achieving the target. Therefore every individual, every govement, every organization, association or body, and each school has its own responsibility to take measures to achieve the goal of Sustainability.This said second aspect of management is to be? "The result? We are in the United States, is the most developed, has a direct role in guiding the world toward the goal. As they say, that the best way to lead is by example. Our country is a major polluter on earth, more greenhouse gases, especially CO2, which in any other country. Not a word, but through binding measures, our nation has an inescapable moral obligation to open the way for truly effective solutions. We urge the govement of national policies to change so that the U.S. is beginning to ease, not continue to increase the burdens on our biosphere and its effects on the population of the planet?. (Municipality of appeal of religion and science for the environment, "the statement" MISSION IN WASHINGTON? Washington, DC, May 12 1992) What steps are really so far since then? ConclusionBottom line: the word? Sustainability? Have you ever used freely. If this is an effort to cure today for a better future, what we did for the immediate present? Any result of a meeting, that the conclusion of a summit that is filled with redundant use of vague terminology such as? Efforts will be made? Control be exercised?,? Reduction of population growth? And so on 'was the fault of games. But he never responded to a job pointedly demand specific? How? And 'now that we have this, unless each of us living today, every govement, and throughout the organization wants to be responsible for the extermination of the human species on earth.Dipak Chatterjee is a Thought Leader; writer, joualist and reporter.
