Answer» There are three major problems related to sustainable development A. Food: Large areas of rich, fertile land needed to grow crops, which is becoming less as we are using up more and more land for other purposes – cities, roads, airports, industries, etc. Soil nutrients are also getting depleted and lots of chemicals are spoiling the soil due to use of chemical fertilisers. B. Water: We use fresh water from rivers and ponds for drinking and cleaning but dump garbage into them. The rivers and ponds are getting polluted. This way after several years, we will have no clean water for our use. C. Fuel: We are using a lot of wood from trees as fuels and for construction of homes and furniture. As more and more trees are being cut, it is affecting the climate of the place. Extreme weather conditions, such as floods, extreme cold or heat, are seen in many places, which affect the people living there. |
