Sustainable Development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations. Often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [Wikipedia]
Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social challenges facing humanity. The field of sustainable development can be conceptually broken into three constituent parts: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and sociopolitical sustainability. [Wikipedia]
Based on those cartoons, does it have any meaning to you, me and others?
In order to develop or been labeled as a developed country, of course we are focusing more on what to be done to generate our economy growth. In Malaysia, due to our status as a developing country, there a lot of business opportunity (small, medium or big) rather than environment program. And that contribute to a quite number of businessmen or industrialist, compared to environmentalist. In conjunction with that, environment aspects have been neglected and it is not right because we need to sustain our environment together with our development because we want both of it moving together. Therefore, we are needed to consider what has been done and what should be done to protect/preserve our environment. Environmental issues such as water pollution that leads to scarcity of water and air pollution that contributes to global warming etc, that could affect our health and well being, to be taken care.
It is true that majority of Malaysian doesn’t have awareness conscious or awareness mind. Awareness just for people that taking or been exposed with environmental s
tudy or program. Other people that do not have been exposed to any environment field or program, easily taking it for granted. Therefore, it is important to create awareness among all Malaysian. Without awareness, the problem still occurred/lingered because they still repeating things that should not be done such as throwing rubbish into the river and pollute river, pollute air and destroy our forest. Besides that, Government should include awareness in the school syllabus. Not just act as an extra co curricular activity, but to educate our future leader to be more responsible and aware about environment.
Enforcement also needed to control businessmen or industrialist from neglected environmental aspect, and Government bodies should be more stringent. If we become too lenient, we cannot educate others to concern on environment. Bear in mind, we cannot follow directly thing or knowledge from others, but use it as guidelines.
We must think that Earth also has a living soul that need to be taken care. We must let her live in a good environment. Therefore, we must be responsible in whatever action that we do. Awareness is a MUST. We must think a way, what can we do to sustain our environment. We must change our point of view that always lead to this familiar statement, “that this is not my responsibility, what should I care “, or “this is government job, let them do their work”.
From now on, we must ;
- protect our water resource
- protect our forest
- protect our air
- protect our nature
