Sustainability could simply be defined as the reasonable maintainance at present to prevent compromising the availability of such resources in the future. Sustainable development has become a popular term in our changing environment today especially as the need for energy as soared and the need to mitigate and adapt to the use of more climate friendly resources has become increasingly important. We need to tailor our needs and wants in such a way that it does not jeopardize the environment the future generations will live in. Changes in climate and weather patterns is on the horizon largely due to continued emission of green house gases (mostly carbon) into the atmosphere, these emissions will most likely increase as the energy demands have risen largely due to population growth. Without sustainable development strategies, the environment runs the risk of being challenged by food security, water level changes all due to changes in climatic condition triggered largely by human activities.
