What is sustainable development?
that outdoor activity is an essential condition for good health;
that everyday activities have an impact on the natural environment;
that waste segregation helps us re‑use them;
that environmental pollution has a negative impact on human health.
use the concept of „sustainable development”;
indicate examples of environmental destruction in your environment;
indicate and propose activities good for the natural environment;
indicate examples of restoration of natural areas.
We need industry. It is thanks to its various branches that we obtain raw materials and products necessary in everyday life. However, we should not forget that natural areas unchanged by humans are equally needed. For example, birds living in these areas eat a huge amount of insects, like flies or mosquitoes. We can reconcile these two needs if we apply the principles of sustainable developmentsustainable development.
What is sustainable development? Imagine that a forester manages a forest in which a thousand trees grow. Every year, it allows you to cut out the 20 oldest trees, and in their place tells to plant 20 new ones. Thanks to this, there are no fallen trees in the forest, and their age is diverse – from the youngest to fully mature.
Sustainable development is such management of environmental resources that does not cause their devastationdevastation. Thanks to this, it is possible to preserve nature for the needs of future generations.
The behavior of the environment in an unchanged state is greatly affected by our everyday behavior. So let's remember about:
segregating garbage,
using recyclable products and packaging,
cleaning the place after camping,
throwing garbage in bins instead of on the ground,
taking care of greenery,
saving electricity, gas and water.
Unfortunately, in the past people have not thought about the consequences of their actions, so many damages have already been made. Fortunately, there are ways to restore nature to devastated natural areas! Such activities are called reclamationreclamation.
An example of an activity that does not take into account the principles of sustainable development is the strengthening of river banks and lakes along their entire length. Thanks to this, you can build marinas for boats and houses just above the water. However, in this way, the birds lose places in which they could build nests. Losses are also borne by people: rivers with fortified banks are less protected against floods, because there is no natural vegetation near the banks.
Indicate which of our daily behavior affects the behavior of the environment in an unchanged state.
- Use of public transport.
- Feeding birds.
- Hanging bird houses.
- Cleaning dog waste.
Reclamation is:
- cultivating traditional family values.
- restoring the devastated natural areas of their original state.
- growing the same plant species in agricultural areas.
- improving access to cultural institutions in small towns and villages.
The term "sustainable development" means:
- using the natural environment in a way that allows future generations to do it themselves.
- development of road and rail network in the better industrialized regions of the country.
- investing mainly in developing countries to improve their economy.
- development of road and rail network in the less industrialized regions of the country.
- stopping the development of technologies to protect the natural environment.
- managing the environment so that we do not deplete its resources.
Summary
Sustainable development is such management of environmental resources that does not cause their devastation.
Modern industry and everyday life should be based on the idea of sustainable development.
The regeneration of brownfield sites is beneficial for the environment as well as for people.
