SUSTAINABLE   DEVELOPMENT “NEED

FOR THE PRESENT TO PRESERVE FOR THE  

FUTURE.

Today in the 21^st century, we are living in a world where we are continuously creating and developing things by using and exploiting our natural resources. But what about our future generation. Recent surveys show that because of the increasing pollution and greenhouse effect, the ozone layer is depleting day by day and thus creating more and more health hazards for us and our future generations. Many surveys also say that if we go on exploiting our natural resources at this rate then it might end up in the coming few years.That is why it's even more important for us to conserve our non-renewable resources for our future generation. We should not forget that we are exploiting these resources because our ancestors had saved for us. Sustainable development is a term that means using resources in such a way that the present generation can fulfill their needs by not depleting the quality of resources for our future generation. Today sustainable development has become the need of the hour because today as we are heading toward a developed, luxurious environment, our natural resources are depleting whether it be in agriculture, industries, or any other sector. Today we are recklessly cutting trees to develop industries, luxurious materials for our comfort, and advanced vehicles which have degraded the environmental condition so much that our future generation can’t breathe properly. As India is an agricultural country where 70% of the population depends on agriculture, the quality of soil is depleting every day. As in order to produce more output we recklessly use so many fertilizers that harm our soil to a great extent. In all this sustainable development is a must, we can do this by using manures instead of fertilizers as it retains the soil quality making it preserved for our future generation. There are many projects which are going worldwide to increase sustainable development. It's not only the duty of the developed nation to try to reduce the overexploitation of these resources, but for every developing country, individual person to save non-renewable resources. We can develop our resources sustainably by following some basic steps like we can use solar energy, hydroelectricity, and wind instead of coal, diesel, and other fossil fuels to run industries, we can switch to CNG vehicles. Sustainable development should be thought to students at an early age and we should try to do afforestation as much as we can. We can follow the 4 R principle that is "to Reduce, to Reuse, to Recycle and Recover"all our kinds of stuff
