The term sustainable transportation is used to define methods of transportation and systems of transportation development which are in agreement with sustainable development. The report will discuss sustainability and the application of sustainable transportation to sustainable tourism. II. Sustainable Development Sustainable development is improvement
years has been sustainability. Although sustainability is a goal for many, measuring the degree to which a business is being sustainable or tracking sustainable growth can be challenging. A man by the name of John Elkington saw the need for a sustainable growth measurement system, and strove to measure sustainability by bringing to view a new outline to measure sustainable performance in corporate America. This outline, called the triple bottom line, went beyond the customary measures of shareholder

The new SDGs are aimed at solving some of the
Introduction After the recent floods all around the world that have resulted in destroyed properties and great causalities, people have started questioning the efficiency of the old outdated method of dredging. With the rapid development of hydrology, or the study of water flow, scientists have found several alternatives for dredging. I purpose of this essay is to scan for alternative, more effective and beneficial methods and compare and evaluate them with dredging. These include natural, soft engineering

The main problem form Qantas is considered to be the aviation fuel, as it constitutes more than 94 per cent of the airline’s domestic carbon emissions. As a result the development of new sustainable fuel and the optimisation of fuel efficiency are seen a priority. The airline is aiming to a 1.5 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency each year until 2020. Furthermore, the company has achieved 3.2 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency
The notion of sustainable city has mounted a paramount place in the contemporary urban planning.

In this paper, I will discuss the concept of green architecture and its purpose or principles. Further elaboration would be done regarding its benefits or impact of this practice to the society and the environment. The disadvantages of green architecture are also discussed after.

M&S has added one more category, supply chain, which merges social and environmental goals. What is in the 2015 report? The report is an update of the current

In other words, we need to use the
