Development with Care: Sustainable Development 

Imagine a situation- You are building a road, a big one. Obviously, there would be number of trees and wildlife related with the site. Now it would be your decision to carry on the project or search for a better alternative where there would be minimum harm to the nature. If you are thinking about the second option congratulations You just initiated a step closer to Sustainable Development.  

 Sustainable development is the approach of better organizing out development works that meet our development goals in such a way that there is minimum impact on natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depend. This will create a condition in our society where natural resources will be continued to use up without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. A state of equilibrium will exist.
