Description
Our attitude towards the Environment has been changed since Industrial
Revolution because our civilization is characterized by the overconsumption of natural
resources, resulting in the appearance on health problems, while millions of people have
also condemned into poverty. In order to change this harmful model of economy, we need
to change our way of thinking by realizing our unity with the Environment. In such a case,
it is obvious that a new model of economic growth will arise, which is based on
Sustainable Development. This type of development combines the protection of natural
environment with the improvement of quality of life, especially for poorer countries
whose population suffers from poverty.
