The Three Pillars Of Sustainability

Early pioneer of ecological substantiality, Herman Daly, proposed a problem of environmental maintenance. He proposed, (1.) renewable resources of harvest should not exceed the rate of regeneration (sustainable yield), (2.) the rates of waste generation from projects should not exceed assimilative capacity of the environment and, (3.) non renewable resources should require comparable development of renewable substitutes for that resource. (Daly, 1990) Despite his insight and projections, human continue to over use natural capital.

The principle of The Three Pillars of Sustainability says that for the comprehensive sustainability problem to be solved all three pillars of sustainability must be sustainable. The three pillars are social sustainability, environmental sustainability, and economic sustainability. Of the three pillars, the most important is environmental sustainability. If this is not solved, then no matter how hard we try the other pillars cannot be made strong because they are reliant on the greater method they live within, the environment. Environmental sustainability is the rates of renewable resource harvest, pollution creation and non-renewable resources.

It is intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability. Frequently, the ecosystem that requires restoration has been degraded, damaged, transformed or entirely destroyed as the direct or indirect result of human activities. In some cases, these impacts to environments have been caused or provoked by natural actions such as wildfire, floods, storms, or volcanic eruption, to the point at which the ecosystem cannot recover its predisturbance state or its historic developmental trajectory. Restoration attempts to return an ecosystem to its historic
