"We have not inherited the world from our forefathers but have borrowed from our children." Justify
Answers
Answer:
We have not inherited this world from our forefathers but borrowed it from our children. If we want them to get all the resources , we should work towards sustainable development. Sustainable development means that developmemt should take place without degrading the environment and the development in the present should not comramise with the need of future generation. But the sad part is today's development is not sustainable. The ground water level is depleting at a faster rate due to excessive irrigation, etc. Though water is renewed by the hydrologic cycle but we are using the resource before it gets renewed. Simlarly, we have fixed reserves for fossil fuels. Once exhausted they will take millions of years to form again. Besides depleting reserves they also cause global warming .
Answer:
The environment is a gift to us. We must not use resources in a careless way. If the resources are wasted, the coming generations will have to face a major problem.
Sustainable development means that the resources will be utilised in a conservative and developmental way , with leaving some for future generations too. Today there is scarcity of water in some areas, if this continues, there will be not a single drop of water left in the coming years. So, we need to save our resources.
