Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future to meet their needs. Environmental sustainability therefore can be defined as the responsible interaction with the environment to avoid depletion or degradation of natural resources which allows for long term environmental quality.
Pollution of the environment as can be seen from the impending factors from the previous article I wrote, assumes diverse forms and can be categorized into four major classes which are water pollution, air pollution, land pollution and noise pollution. These however, represent serious potential threats to environmental quality or they show, and convene the problems and complexities of anticipating and avoiding undesirable human impacts on the environment.
Water pollution is very dangerous and poses a threat to human, acquatic, animal, and plant life. Several times each day, we turn a handle to produce a flow of clean water. By pressing or turning another handle, we flush away our body wastes. Yet how often do we consider the complex systems that provide our water and dispose of our sewage? A city’s water supply usually comes from a distant location, but it’s sewage enters nearby waterways. This is true of the developed countries and nations of the world, and to some extent, the developing urban regions of developing and underdeveloped nations of the world. But in the case of the rural areas of underdeveloped countries, indigenes Of very primitive areas and sub-urban regions may or may not have adequate waste disposal systems, and so they make use of surrounding land and often times pollute nearby water bodies such as streams and lakes with their body wastes. And if decomposers in the acquatic ecosystem cannot cope and deal with the amount of sewage, the beaches and water supplies of areas farther downstream become polluted.
