The title of this blog post is what the Brundtland Commission sees as the definition of sustainable development. That we are advancing and developing out technological world, without effecting the next generations to come. I do not believe we are abiding by this at all! We can see all of the topics from the beginning of this course and it is simple to come to the conclusion that we are not participating in sustainable development. From the pollution created through hog farming, climate change issues that have increased drastically over the last 50 years, issues of sustainable living in third world countries and the exploitation of the native Indians. When i think of all the effects technology has had on our environment, it clear we are destroying ourselves and headed on a path of self destruction.
There are many advances in the area of sustainable development, which is a small start to a large global is
sue.Solar Power: has become one of the leading forms of sustainable development as we can take the natural rays of the run and convert it into usable energy for cars and homes.
Wind Turbine: A new form of energy creation, where natural wind allows the development of energy for everyday life
These two examples are just some of the forms of sustainable development that we need to consider in order to make sure we leave the next generation with something they can survive on.
