“Treat the earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.”
The above quoted Kenyan proverb aptly marks the pungent need of the hour, i.e. ‘sustainable development’ and ‘eco-friendly living style.’
Eco-friendly or ‘going green’ is the latest way of life. ‘Eco-friendly’ refers to those goods and services which are considered to have negligible or no harm on the environment.
Sustainable development refers to a system which uses resources in such a way as to preserve the resources for both present and future generations. ‘Using of alternative and renewable resources of energy’ and ‘conservation’ are two aspects of sustainable development. ‘Rain water harvesting’, ‘saving trees’, ‘conserving energy’, etc. are modes of sustainable.
