Answer:

Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of  present population without compromising the needs of future generation. The three components are:

1. Environmental sustainability

2. Social sustainability and

3. Economic sustainability

Explanation:

1. In comparison, the three components are inter related as misuse of one component will lead to drastic result on another. Adequate environmental management can only be possible where the economic management is handled well to mitigate its effect on the environment, through enactment of sustainable laws that will help the growth in the economy of a nation without compromising the environmental well being of the nation.

In contrast, the three can hinder the growth of others through wrong use of natural resources for economic growth, without concern for the negative effects  they will have on the environment, while jettisoning those laws that have the ability to protect the environment and bring balance to the three components.

It is possible for the three components to work together to achieve equilibrium. This can be achieved where every component is considered in planning for the society.

Sustainable economic growth can be achieved when adequate and healthy laws are put in place in the management of the natural resources. Economic growth is derived by using the earth's resources for the good of the people. Bu that has tendency of putting undue pressure on the resources, thereby leading to their fast depletion. Therefore, enacting specific laws and guidelines in the orderly use and management of these resources will result in economic growth without harm to the environment.

However, there are difficulties most times in maintaining this equilibrium. This can come by way of greedy capitalists who can go any length to sabotage sound social justice to achieve economic prosperity at the detriment of the environment. Corrupt leaders, can team up with corrupt business men and exploit environment for economic progress.

2. A good example in fresh water marshes unit where humans are emulating the nature can be seen from lots of acts and conventions  to protect the environment. Such act like Fresh water Acts of 1972 which was enacted to protect the chemical, physical and biological integrity of nation's water, thereby reducing the pollution of water and its components.

3. As an individual i can contribute to sustainability of these three components by the followings:

a. Proper farm ethics and encourage 3 R's of waste management reuse, recycle and reduce. This will reduce to manageable level the burden on the resources of the earth.

b. Obey and support all the laws, conferences and conventions aimed at sustaining the environment

c. Avoid greedy and sharp business practices that will have negative effects on the immediate environment.
