Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future

For instance, practicing deforestation to meet the global energy demands and to create land for settlement. Trees are essential to air purification and enrichment of the environment. Destroying them conflicts with the possibility of having a sustainable environment. Additionally, many companies use petroleum products to run their locomotives and machineries. Owing to the fact that the world has a large number of vehicles running on petrol and diesel, the amount of carbon released to the environment is alarming and this situation heightens the level of global warming.

In the midst of a global ecological crisis, architects and designers are relentlessly pursing design strategies that manage to mitigate the toxic byproducts of our consumption habits, while maximizing our use of sustainable energy sources. Meeting these challenges means more deeply integrating green technologies like wind and solar power, natural climate controls and space age materials into the building processes (Macher). Another reason that green... ... middle of paper ... ...een behavior on the part of occupants is as important, if not more important for certain aspects. As a generation, individuals need to be more aware of green energy and how to save more energy and money by living green. As a society individuals need to make green energy laws at the same time improve the economy.

This is why the importance of finding other sources of energy is so significant. With the discovery of the great abundance of fossil fuels, no one could stop to think that we might run out of them because they are nonrenewable. Not only is the supply of fossil fuels getting shorter, but they are harsh to the environment and to ourselves as well. Switching to renewable energy is the best way to preserve what fossil fuels we have left and help make the world clea... ... middle of paper ... ...endent by using our own sources and stop spending money buying resources from other countries. This will produce more circulating capital in our own country and help introduce additional jobs.

I think I will start being more aware of the impact my choices have on the environment. I could start looking at the disclosures of the companies I buy from and see what impact they have on the environment. I may also start purchasing products that are more energy efficient and advantageous in the long run. Even though these products may be more costly in the short run, I know I will be awarding the companies that are innovating technology for pollution control.

Economic development is brought about by efficient use of technology to provide cheaper means of harnessing electricity. In developing countries, sustainable engineering has enabled the utilization of renewable energy sources like solar power. Sustainability engineering of these resources ensure quality air with no carbon emissions. Sustainable engineering is important in countering the negative effects in climate and the environment that can harm individuals’ health, livelihood and lives as well as controlling the extent of pollution (Delucchi & Jacobson 2011). Therefore, sustainability will bring about a sound ecological system composed of air, land and sea.

Some of these changes may take some time, such as converting to wind turbines and biofuel, but if we individually support these changes and accept them, then the transition to these alternative energies will be easier and much more beneficial to the environment. If we respect ourselves and the world we live in, these individual changes should not even be second guessed. By challenging ourselves daily to make the world a better place, the future lives of our children and generations further down the road can live in a really beautiful place. We want to make the change.

Improved human capital will lead to a better efficiency of industry and therefore improve the environmental friendliness. Government plays as an important role even though the regulations of market are set in minimum. Government’s job is to create a good business atmosphere with attractive incentives. These incentives and good private property rights will help to achieve this business atmosphere and new innovations will come out. The biggest barrier for plan is the theory itself.

A consequence of contamination in the environment is global warming. Utilizing natural resources such as fossil fuel contributes to global warming (Nordell, 2003). With the increase in energy consumption for industrial power or transportation, the need of clean energy is needed. A recent World Energy Council study found that without any change in our current practice, the world energy demand in 2020 would be 50-80% higher than the 1990 levels” (Ramos J., & Bashiri N. 2013, p.8). There is even tax and credits available for people to encourage them to use friendly environment vehicles (Venables, 2009).

Hello, in this speech I want to talk about the term "sustainable development" and what it means for me and for the world. For me, sustainable development is a new way for the world to improve its present and have more options for a good future. This method, which most countries have begun to use to fight against the ecological problems on the planet, is of great importance to maintain many things that exist on the planet today, like many animals or plants. In addition, this plan will improve people's living standards, in addition to helping with social problems and the daily lives of many people, such as education and work, also help poor people with better living conditions. Now I want to explain, from my point of view and based on the information

The world needs to start making alternative energy sources more of a priority for a number of reasons. “Alternative energy refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences such for example fossil fuels or nuclear energy” (“Alternative Energy”). Alternative energy sources collectively only provide about seven percent of the total world energy supply (McLamb). Even though fossil fuels are cheap and plentiful, can help a country’s economy, and can be extracted relatively easily, they have many disastrous effects (“Activity 3 – Fossil Fuels – The pros and cons”). Burning fossil fuels emits dangerous substances that harm our ecosystem.
