Sustainability principles

 

1. Reduce dependence upon fossil fuels, underground metals, and minerals
2. Reduce dependence upon synthetic chemicals and other unnatural substances
3. Reduce encroachment upon nature
4. Meet human needs fairly & efficiently

Eco-villages and small towns to urban and rural life in a sustainable system exemplified, especially food products, which increase the production of a simple life in self-reliance to work on community building principles. The regulations, large-scale support for the concept of bio regional economy.

Consequently, the level of human development in the direction of sustainability, social choice and the local environmental impact largely depends on social movements. Eco-municipality may have a similar measure. More sustainable system is based on the principles of Eco-municipalities. Eco-municipality movement in the bottom-up approach, involving community participation. In Sweden more than 70 cities and towns in all municipalities, 25 percent of "sustainability principles" generally accepted within the country and their local activities to be done step by step.

Small, cheap and easily through the steps to reduce the environmental impact of their personal property for people who want to have one. However, in the form of sustainable use of reduction required to link the international community at all levels of human and environmental, is the most important changes. United Nations central role in special education and "new attitude and approach to ensure a future for us to accept the problem," The goal of sustainable development, 2005-2014, said about education. The World Wide Fund for Nature in great individualist and materialist values-on the social relations of people involved and strengthen the education that goes beyond the natural world and sustainable strategy is proposed.

Measuremesnts

That the resistance measurement, sustainability, and management of information as a basis for quantitative measurement indicates the use of the concept, social, environmental and economic sustainability of the sustainability of involvement (use of metrics for measuring and separately, and various combined) is still developing: they are indicators, standards, audits, and financial indicators, as well as the evaluation includes, The assessment and other reporting systems. Over a large spatial scale, and they should be applied temporarily.

The best-known and most widely used measures of some resistance to the corporate sustainability report, Environmental Sustainability Index and the Triple Bottom Line accounting and Environmental Performance Index, using separate countries for the quality of management estimates include the resistance.

Scale and Context

Sustainability research and a lot of time and space scales on the environmental and social and economic contexts of a number of familiar. economic sectors, the sustainability of the planet Earth for the balance of power with the focus changes, ecosystems, states, municipalities, neighborhoods, home gardens, live in separate, individual goods and services, professions, lifestyles, behavior patterns, and so on. . In other words, it is full, or its biological and human activity on the part of the reason might be Compass Daniel Botkin, author and environmentalist, as stated: "We are changing on the scale that the flux of time and space is always a view to see ". 

Consumer - people, technology, resources 

Biophysical effects of the drive system of human resources, destruction of Earth, and in particular, are ecosystems of Earth. a community of humanity as a whole, or to the environment, and the scale of human impact on per capita, which in its turn, these resources are restored, or, what resources are used depends on the activity of the complex depends on the carrying capacity of ecosystems than take part. Careful resource management organizations, business, agriculture, manufacturing and industrial sectors, such as over-weight can be applied to the economic, physical and personal and household patterns of consumption of goods and services resource requirements. One of the first attempts in 1970 and developed the mathematical expression of human impact on the first formula is known as PAT. Preparation of the three components of the consumer in terms of human attempts to explain this: the number of the population, the level of consumption a unit of impact and resource of technology used depends on the . Expressed in the equation is: I = P × A × T Where: 

I = environmental impact, P = Population, A = affluence, T = Technology

Principles and concepts

Sustainability takes on the philosophical and analytical framework that combines a wide range of disciplines and areas, in recent years was that the name of the resistance came to an area of science. Sustainability science and not an autonomous field or discipline of its own is not a problem-oriented management and management decisions have tended to be the right

Sustainability

Sustainability is the ability to endure. In ecology, the term describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long lived and healthy lakes and forests are examples of sustainable organic systems. For humans, stable long-term maintenance of well being, environmental, economic and social dimensions are likely to. 

Healthy ecosystems and the environment to humans and other organisms provide critical goods and services. There reduce the negative impact humans have two major ways to enhance ecosystem services. First environmental management, this approach is based largely on the Information earth science, environmental science, biology and protection obtained. Second approach human consumption of resources, the economics of the information obtained is based on large-scale management.
Stability, social and ecological consequences of economic activity through the interface with economics. Ecological economics sustainability economics where social, cultural, healthcare and monetary / financial aspects are integrated is included. Moving towards sustainability is a social challenge that international and national law, urban planning and transport, local and individual lifestyle needs and focuses on ethical consumerism. Ways of living more sustainably living conditions (eg, ecovillages, environmentally sustainable towns and municipalities) take many forms of restructuring, economic (permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture) areas, or work practices (sustainable architecture) reappraising to can use science to make adjustments in personal life style for the new (clean technologies, renewable energy) technology, develop the natural resources conservation.
