How You Can Employ the Concept of Sustainable Development to Save Our Planet

In past decades the industrial trade put economics before ecology; however, economic growth should never come before ecological responsibility. It is our job to do all we can to preserve the condition of the environment for the next generation, as it will be their job to do the same for the generations to come. Concerning ecology, sustainable development allows us to make a living without damaging the earth or wasting her resources.

I have asked a few people about their thoughts on the concept of sustainable development and they just gave me a blank look. Many of the people I talked to didn't even recognize the term. It's really no surprise that people haven't heard of sustainable development because as of yet it isn't a phrase that is used much. They know the word green; if you are thinking green, you are employing the concepts of sustainable development, because changing from using products with chemicals that will harm the environment to green products, you are taking measures to preserve your environment. If everyone took measures to preserve their immediate environment their collective efforts would hand the earth to the next generation in better condition than it is in now.
