The document discusses the importance of sustainable living. It notes that our lives and economies depend on resources from the earth, and that living sustainably means living off the earth's natural income without depleting resources. It then discusses some key issues with the current unsustainable model like CO2 emissions, deforestation, and population growth. Deforestation is removing forests faster than they can regrow, which causes problems like droughts, wildfires and animal extinction. High CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use are also causing problems like more severe weather. The document argues that societies need to pursue more sustainable economic development that improves lives without degrading earth's life support systems. It provides some examples of sustainable practices around resource and energy use.

2. • Our lives and economies depend on energy
from the sun and natural resources and services
provided by the earth.
• Living sustainably means living off earth’s
natural income without depleting or degrading
the natural capital that it supplies.
What is an Environmentally
Sustainable Living

3. Why Sustainable Living?
• Simply stated, our global
future depends on it. The
importance of finding a
sustainable future is rooted in
two issues that are very much
linked to one another:
• CO2 emissions
• Deforestation.
• Population boom.

5. Deforestation
• Forests cover 31% of the land
area on our planet. They produce
vital oxygen and provide homes
for people and wildlife. Many of
the world’s most threatened and
endangered animals live in
forests.
• But forests around the world are
under threat from deforestation.
Deforestation is caused by
industrialization , Agriculture , To
harvest timber to create
commercial items such as paper,
furniture and homes
Effects of Deforestation:
• Droughts
• Wildfires
• Increase in temperature
• Animal Death/Extinction
• Vegetation and resource
loss.

6. Emission of Green House Gases
• Since the industrial
revolution, the world’s
industrialized nations
have been founded on
access to “cheap” fossil
fuel energy.
• Nations, such as China
and India, become more
industrialized, the global
demand and price of
fossil fuels will further
increase, as will emissions
of CO2.
Effects of CO2 Emissions
• Incidents of Severe
weather.
• Geographical changes.
• Changes in food supply.
• Shrinking water supply.

7. • Societies can become more environmentally
sustainable through economic development
dedicated to improving the quality of life for
degrading the earth’s life-everyone without
support systems.

society grows economically

8. Four Scientific Principles Of
Sustainability

9. Learning to Live More Sustainably

10. Examples of Environmental
Sustainability

11. Saving non-renewable resources

12. Saving non-renewable resources
Effective consumption of Power:
• Switch to energy-efficient bulbs.
• Energy-efficient appliances.
• Close the fridge!
• Wash only full loads
• Unplug chargers
• Don't charge cell phones overnight.

13. Sustainable Park System
Sustainable Parks will:
• Support a stable and diverse economy
• Protect and enhance the quality of the air, water, land
and other natural resources
• Protect and enhance native vegetation, habitat areas,
fish and wildlife
• Create opportunities for enhanced social benefits
• Build community
• Promote stewardship and educate the public about
sustainability
• Result in more cost-effective park management
practices
• Ensure longevity of parks and recreation facilities
