Sustainable development means responsible and efficient administration of natural resources for the future. It implies the conservation of ecological balance without neglecting material progress.
Currently, different countries and governments are advancing in the implementation of sustainable development policies at local or global level. Therefore, here are ten examples of sustainable development that are taking place in the world.
1. Recycling inorganic garbage
Inorganic waste can be recycled to be transformed into reusable materials, such as containers, bags, bottles, etc.
2. Biodegradable garbage
Biodegradable waste can be recycled and processed to be used as plant fertilizer. It is composed of different materials of organic origin. With it can be manufactured, for example, compost, which is used in agriculture and gardening.
3. Solar power plants
Solar power plants take advantage of sunlight to produce electricity. It is a type of clean and renewable energy.
4. Wind farms
Wind farms are wind turbine installations that use the force of air to produce electricity. They are a clean alternative for power generation.
5. Wave energy
Wave energy is that produced from the force of the waves, whose movement produces hydraulic pressure, which is transmitted to floating buoys, to subsequently be converted into electrical energy. It is a very effective type of renewable energy that is currently being explored.
6. Organic farming
Organic farming is based on optimizing the use of natural resources, without using chemicals or genetically modified organisms. Its objective is the production of organic food without neglecting the protection of soils and resources, also decreases the greenhouse effect and increases fertility.
7. Use of rainwater
The collection and storage of rainwater is essential to avoid wasting a resource as important as water.
8. Ecotourism
Ecotourism is an ecological concept of tourism, as the name implies. It promotes a form of tourism more oriented to experience the lifestyle of rural communities and to enjoy nature, its flora, its fauna, its landscapes. In addition, avoid the damage and pollution caused by traditional tourism.
9. Solar cycle path
The solar bicycle path is an ecological transport system, designed for the circulation of bicycles. It is charged during the day with solar energy and shines at night. It is an alternative transport route.
10. Electric cars
The use of electric cars, especially when the energy that moves them comes from clean energy sources, such as solar or wind, is a sustainable alternative for transport, since it does not pollute the environment or produce noise pollution.
