This shows prospects for the long-term survival of the human race at the level of its current manifestation in developed countries. Two fundamental concepts are shown in the United Nations definition: 1 – the fair and just intergenerational allocation and use of natural resources, 2 – the preservation of ecosystems across time. c. Sustainable design suggests a macro perspective on environmental responsibility, protection of the health and welfare of global ecosystems for current and future generations. Green design suggests a micro perspective, protection of people’s health and welfare in the built environment. Environmentally responsible design, a combination of green and sustainable design, has far-reaching benefits for planet Earth and its inhabitants.
Overpopulation will be biggest problem of the 21th century. Overpopulation means any given species cannot exceed the carrying capacity of the land it inhabits. Because of the pressure overpopulation, people don’t have enough water, food, and living area. This is the reason they develop the vast forest area used for farming and clear the area the people to live. For example in areas of Nepal, they cut down the vegetation to provide wood for heating and construction, the fertile topsoil is eroded by rain because it is now without the protection offered by natural vegetation.

Which in time makes harder for them to get by. They are forced to look for other ways to fulfil their basic needs. Globalization Globalization has a negative impact on Hawaii too.
22 October 2013 Why Can’t People Feed Themselves? In the article by Frances Moore Lappé and Joseph Collins, both authors point to Colonialism as the main reason why people cannot feed themselves anymore. Prior to European intervention in third world agriculture, many of these countries thrived on their land, producing crops not for sale, but for consumption. They looked to diversify their crops and to introduce new crops of Asian or even American origin that could also be grown for consumption. However, many European countries viewed these lesser colonies as “primitive and backward.” Why can’t people feed themselves?

In addition to environmental decline the economic well being of the country leaves much to be desired. The World Bank and other such agencies have taken fiscal responsibilities away from the states as well as cutting expenditures on government payrolls, health care, education and other such public services.
