This document discusses sustainable development and renewable energies. It defines sustainable development as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Renewable energies discussed include solar, wind, tidal/wave, and geothermal energies, which provide energy from natural and inexhaustible sources with minimal environmental impact compared to fossil fuels. The development of clean industry and renewable energies is important for achieving sustainable development goals.
Environment literally means surrounding and everything that affect an organism during its lifetime is collectively known as its environment. In another words “Environment is sum total of water, air and land interrelationships among themselves and also with the human being, other living organisms and property”. It includes all the physical and biological surrounding and their interactions.
Environmental studies provide an approach towards understanding the environment of our planet and the impact of human life upon the environment.
Thus environment is actually global in nature, it is a multidisciplinary subject including physics, geology, geography, history, economics, physiology, biotechnology, remote sensing, geophysics, soil science and hydrology etc. Scope of Environmental Science Environmental science is a multidisciplinary science whose basic aspects have a direct relevance to every section of the society.
Its main aspects are:
• Conservation of nature and natural resources.
• Conservation of biological diversity.
• Control of environmental pollution.
• Stabilization of human population and environment.
• Social issues in relation to development and environment.
• Development of non-polluting renewable energy system and providing new dimension to nation’s security. Importance of Environmental Science Environment belongs to all the living beings and thus is, important for all.
Each and every body of whatever occupation he or she may have, is affected by environmental issues like global warming, depletion of ozone layer, dwindling forest, energy resources, loss of global biodiversity etc.
Environment study deals with the analysis of the processes in water, air, land, soil and organisms which leads to pollute or degrade environment. It helps us for establishing standard,Environment and Ecology for safe, clean and healthy natural ecosystem.
It also deals with important issues like safe and clean drinking water, hygienic living conditions and clean and fresh air, fertility of land, healthy food and development. Sustainable environmental law, business administration, environmental protection, management and environmental engineering are immerging as new career opportunities for environment protection and managements.
Need for Public Awareness With the ever increasing development by modern man, large scale degradation of natural resources have been occurred, the public has to be educated about the fact that if we are degrading our environment we are actually harming ourselves.
To encourage meaningful public participation and environment, it is necessary to create awareness about environment pollution and related adverse effects.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. La sustentabilidad es un término ligado a la acción del hombre en
relación a su entorno.
Dentro de la disciplina ecológica, la sustentabilidad se refiere a los
sistemas biológicos que pueden conservar la diversidad y la
productividad a lo largo del tiempo.
3. Se habla de sustentabilidad ambiental en relación con todos los
aspectos de nuestras vidas, desde la creación de hogares ecológicos y
comunidades con conciencia ambiental hasta el abastecimiento de
alimentos sustentables, energía renovable, muebles y ropa de bajo
impacto ecológico.
La humanidad en su paso por el planeta ha degradado los recursos
naturales de tal forma que actualmente es necesario procurar y planear
concienzudamente el consumo de los mismos para garantizar su
existencia en las generaciones futuras.
4. El desarrollo sustentable hace referencia a la capacidad que haya
desarrollado el sistema humano para satisfacer las necesidades de las
generaciones actuales sin comprometer los recursos y oportunidades
para el crecimiento y desarrollo de las generaciones futuras.
5. Desarrollo sustentable
Se define como un desarrollo que satisfaga las necesidades del presente sin
poner en peligro la capacidad de las generaciones futuras, para atender sus
propias necesidades.
Esta definición fue empleada por primera vez en 1987 en la Comisión
Mundial del Medio Ambiente de la ONU, creada en 1983. Sin embargo, el
tema del medio ambiente tiene antecedentes más lejanos. En este sentido,
las Naciones Unidas han sido pioneras al tratar el tema, enfocándose
inicialmente en el estudio y la utilización de los recursos naturales y en la
lucha porque los países – en especial aquellos en desarrollo - ejercieran
control de sus propios recursos naturales.
6. • Gaylord Nelson, fundador del primer Día de la Tierra”, menciona
cincocaracterísticas que definen sostenibilidad:
1. Renovabilidad. Una comunidad debe usar los recursos renovables,
no más rápido que el tiempo que tardan en reemplazarse. La tasa
de consumo de recursos renovables no puede exceder la tasa de
regeneración.
2. Sustitución. Preferentemente una comunidad debe hacer uso de
los recursos renovables en lugar de los no renovables.
7. 3. Interdependencia. La comunidad que se percibe como sostenible,
que forma parte de un sistema mayor, no puede ser sostenible a
menos que dicho sistema lo sea también.
4. Adaptabilidad. La comunidad sostenible puede adaptarse para
aprovechar las nuevas oportunidades.
5. Compromiso institucional. Adopta leyes y procesos políticos que
asignan sostenibilidad. Su sistema económico apoya a la producción
y consumo sostenible, mientras que sus sistemas educativos les
enseñan a las personas a valorar y practicar la conducta
sustentable.
8. Características
Las principales características que debe reunir un desarrollo para que lo podamos
considerar sustentable son:
• Promover que la actividad económica mantenga o mejore el sistema ambiental.
• Asegurar que la actividad económica mejore la calidad de vida de todos los
ciudadanos.
• Usar los recursos eficientemente.
• Promover el máximo de reciclaje y reutilización.
• Desarrollar tecnologías limpias.
• Restaurar los ecosistemas dañados.
• Promover la autosuficiencia regional.
• Reconocer la importancia de la naturaleza para el bienestar humano.
9. Para conseguir un desarrollo sostenible es necesario un cambio de
mentalidad, dado que en la mentalidad humana está firmemente
asentada una visión de las relaciones entre el hombre y la naturaleza
que lleva a pensar que:
1. Los hombres civilizados estamos fuera de la naturaleza y que no nos
afectan sus leyes.
2. El éxito de la humanidad se basa en el control y el dominio de la
naturaleza.
3. La Tierra tiene una ilimitada cantidad de recursos a disposición de
los humanos.
10. Uno de los principales objetivos es el desarrollo de una industria
limpia, que minimice los impactos al ambiente. Y uno de los grandes
problemas actuales es que se producen una gran cantidad de
contaminantes en la generación de energía. En consecuencia, es
necesario el desarrollo de las denominadas energías renovables o
alternativas.
11. Energías renovables
Se denominan energías alternativas o renovables a todas las fuentes
que proveen energía a partir de fuentes naturales inagotables, por lo
tanto, no se queman combustibles fósiles, como carbón, gas y
petróleo, y sus emisiones contaminantes al ambiente son mínimas o
nulas. Existen varias alternativas según el tipo de recurso que
emplean: el Sol, el viento, el oleaje marino o el calor interno de la
Tierra.
12. Energía solar
Se aprovecha la radiación electromagnética del Sol, la cual se capta
en diversos colectores (celdas fotovoltaicas o colectores térmicos),
que la transforman, ya sea en electricidad o en energía térmica
13. Energía eólica
Se puede ver como una variación de la energía solar, dado que la
radiación del Sol calienta las masas de aire (como vimos en la
circulación general de la atmósfera) y hace que se muevan,
generando el viento. Este recurso el que se aprovecha para producir
energía eléctrica a través de unos aerogeneradores.
14. Energía mareomotriz
Se obtiene aprovechando la energía producida por el movimiento
de las olas marinas o por la diferencia de la temperatura entre la
superficie y el agua profunda oceánica. Se han desarrollado
diferentes dispositivos para captar la energía potencial de las olas y
transformarlas a energía eléctrica .
15. Energía geotérmica
Es la energía que produce el calor interno de la Tierra y se concentra
como vapor o agua caliente en zonas denominadas geotermales.
