There is a huge gap between rich and poor. In this age of development the rich have gone richer and the poor is becoming more poorer.. This has lead to unsustainable growth. There is an increasing global concern about the management of natural resources. The solution to this problem is to have more equitable distribution of resources and income. Two major causes of unsustainability are over population in poor countries and over consumption of resources by rich countries. A global consensus has to be reached for balanced distribution of natural resources.

3. SUSTAINABLE Lifestyle
➢ Sustainable living is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's
natural resources and personal resources.
➢ Most basic, sustainable living means living a lifestyle that uses as few resources as possible and causes
the least amount of environmental damagefor future generationsto deal with.
➢ Sustainableliving must include a reliance on sustainableenergy.
➢ The energy sources used must be renewablerather than limited in quantity.
➢ A sustainable home should be constructed from materials that have been produced in an
environmentallyfriendlymanner.
➢ The three important and necessary factors involved in maintaining the earth are social, environmental,
and economic, and the environmental factoraffects both social and economic issues.

4. ❖Principles of sustainable development
that leads to a sustainable livlihood

5. ❖ Live within environmental limits
➢ Environmental limits can be defined as the point beyond which
the environment exceeds its ability to provide essential
resources.

6. ❖ Achieving a sustainable economy
➢ A sustainable economy is one that is resilient and provides a good quality of
life for everybody.

7. ❖ Promoting good governance
➢ Good governance is a way of measuring how public institutions conduct
public affairs and manage public resourcesin a preferred way.

8. ❖ Using sound science responsibly

9. ❖ Ensuring a strong ,healthy and just society
➢ Enable community to take care of their own environment.
➢ Change attitude and practices
➢ Provide a national frame work for integrating development
and conservation

10. ❖ objective

11. ❖ Need
➢ Resources should be conserved to -
➢ To support life by maintaining ecological balance.
➢ To ensure that the future generations will be able to access the resources.
➢ To preserve the biodiversity.
➢ To make sure human race survives.

12. BIODIVERSITY
• Biodiversity conservation protects plant, animal, microbial and genetic
resources for food production, agriculture, and ecosystem functions such as
fertilizing the soil, recycling nutrients, regulating pests and disease,
controlling erosion, and pollinating crops and trees.

13. ❖ Human race cannot survive without
➢ I strongly believe that nature and ourselves are one in itself
➢ we are weaker when we are separate but together we take on the world—
literally!
➢ Nature works simultaneously with humans, and humans work
simultaneously with nature to produce an ongoing output and input of life
on earth.
➢ Nature simply provides the air ,water we need.

14. SAVE RESOURCES FOR FUTURE
GENERATION
• As the population of the world is increasing at an alarming rate, the
consumptionof natural resources is also increasing. Hence, these resources
should be conserved save them for future generations.
•

15. ECOLOGICAL BALANCE
• The balance is very important because it ensures
survival, existence and stability of the
environment.
• It ensures that no particular species is exploited or
overused. For example, human activities such as
farming and resources exploitation are checked to
prevent excessive destruction of the forests.
Deforestation leads to drought. Drought reduces
food production resulting to insufficient food.
Insufficient food leads to starvation and later
death occurs, hence reducing the existence of
some species.

17. ❖ Technology That Can Save Energy
➢ Thermal power plant
➢ Hydro power plant
➢ Bio-gas
➢ Wind energy
➢ Solar energy
➢ Geothermal energy

18. ➢ Thermal Power Plant

19. ➢ Hydro Power Plant
▪ India is the 5th globally for installed
hydroelectric power capacity.
▪ The hydro-electric power plants
at Darjeeling and Shivanasamudram
were established in 1898 and 1902.
and these are Asia’s first
hydroelectric plant.
Electricity

20. ➢ Bio-gas
➢ Mixture of gases containingmethane, carbon
dioxide,hydrogen and hydrogensulphate.
➢ Bio-gas contains75% of methane gas.
➢ The slurry left behind used as manure as it
containsas it is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus

21. ➢ Wind Energy
• Minimum wind speed required is 15km/hr.
• Present wind power potential of India is
1020 MW.
• Largest wind energy farm has been
established near Kanyakumari in Tamilnadu
& it generates 380 MW of electricity.
Electricity

22. ➢ Solar Energy
▪ Sunlight is converted into thermal energy.
▪ The average intensity of solar radiation receivedon India is
200 MW/km square.

23. ➢ Geo Thermal Energy
• Geothermal Plant in India
• Tattapani in Chhattisgarh.
• Puga in Jammu & Kashmir.
• Cambay Graben in Gujarat.
• Manikaran in Himachal
Pradesh.
• Surajkund in Jharkhand.

24. ❖ Political challenges
➢ Lack of good and correct data
➢ Prioritization is must
➢ Ambition only works when you finance it
➢ Where there is a political will, there is a way
➢ Local government often faces complex challenges and often lack in coping

25. SAVE RESOURCES FOR FUTURE GENERATION
➢ As the population of the world is increasing at an alarming rate, the
consumptionof natural resources is also increasing. Hence, these resources
should be conserved save them for future generations.

26. CONCLUSION
Resource management should be less energy-
intensive, suitable to local ecology and needs
of the people, less cost-intensive and more
viable in terms of economy, ecology and
culture. A fairer sharing of resources will
narrow down the gap between the rich and
the poor and will lead to sustainable
development for all and not just for a
privileged group, All member of this biotic
system has the privilege for the equitable
sharing of natural resources. Man has no right
to plunder the natural resources Equitable use
of resources for sustainable lifestyles.
