Integration of environmental conservation and economic development The right to development Sustainable utilization and conservation of natural resources Inter generational equality Intra generational equality The polluter pays principle
People taking more from nature than what it can replenish: There are two kinds of resources, sustainable (lumber, fish stocks etc) and non sustainable resources (natural gas, oil etc). Sustainable resources should be used in such a manner that nature is able to replenish them. Non sustainable resources should be used in a very responsible way because once it is used up it is gone forever.
The more economic development that occurs, the less sustainable the development is. Rapid growth is done at the expense of developing sustainable practices. Profit requires maximizing exploitation of resources and labor.
sustainable development
For humans to live sustainably, the Earth's resources must be used at a rate at which they can be replenished. Since resources are finite, the easiest way to replenish them is by engaging in sustainable behaviors like recycling, composting, or planting trees. These behaviors put resources back into the planet, where they can be used again and again, which preserves existing resources.
