Sustainable Development simply means attaining and maintaining a quality of life that can
last for many generations ahead. For this goal, we need to answer three basic conditions. The first
is the prosperity or economic security. This can never be realized unless we invest money in a way
that the costs don’t exceed the income, along with preserving energy by using cheap energies such
as the solar and wind powers. Next, we need to work on a durable social justice system. We should
protect people's properties, activate the labour market and find new jobs so as to alleviate poverty.
Third and last factor is the environment quality which is our obligation towards the future
generations. We must keep recycling waste and preserving water resources and forests for the
coming generations to meet their needs. If we are serious about these obligations we'll certainly be
able to protect the planet and sustain development.
