 Sustainable world:

Sustainable development means to meet the needs of the present world without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.

  My Vision:

My vision of a sustainable world is where nature is no longer endangered by humans. Where citizens are concerned enough about the environment

that they will want to make a difference. Where we use energy without destroying our environment but still have enough funds to not hinder technological advancement. Where our successors can see the same natural world as we did.

Plan to make this a reality:

Sustainable development means "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (Brundtland Commission). That means cutting only enough trees per year that can be regrown. That means minimize the burning of fossil fuel, which causes global warming. That means designing energy-efficient buildings, using recycled materials when possible. And it means rethinking our social institutions and the way we conduct our business to be more equitable to all both across the globe and in future generations.

Because universities are at the forefront of research and development, many U.S. campus leaders have decided that all future construction will be "sustainable" and that they will transform the daily operation of the campus to conserve resources. Moreover, they are introducing courses, majors and conferences on sustainability and the environment.

Impact of colonization on our journey to a sustainable world

   Colonization hinders sustainability by using up resources for the communities needs. Natural resources that could be used for making eco-friendly gadgets and devices have to be used for the people. As people colonized in different areas of the world, they destroyed natural habitats of animals, growing constantly to the point where the animals had nowhere to live. They also drove native people, who did not have as advanced technology, out using their guns and bombs. As technology and weaponry advanced, people used weapons that destroyed large portions of the environment. And, people are constantly developing new things and consuming more and more natural resources to do so.
