Sustainability is: "Meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." Definition how Sustainability can be achieved: a) Reducing consumption of resources - such as water and energy. b) Better building practices to reduce energy waste c) More fuel efficient engines in cars + trucks, generators, chain saws, lawn mowers etc" d) Increasing recycling or the use of recycled materials. e) Protection of forests all over Earth f) Protection of soil all over Earth We need to take a bigger-picture approach to environmental sustainability, Sustainability can provide the best for people and the environment both now and in the indefinite future. A famous US-President has once said this wise words: "I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use our natural resources, but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or rob by wasteful use, the generations that come after us." President Theodore Roosevelt October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919 26th President of the United States Close to all scientists on Earth agree that life on Earth has already changed - and not to the better. There are many possibilities to reduce the impact on all living beings. EbA = ecosystem-based Adaptation is a promising approach: 1)Sustainable managing 2)Sustainable development 3)Conserving and restoring ecosystems 3a)Stop or reduce deforestation 4)Conserve biodiversity 5)Land restoration and conservation  This would give people more time to adapt to climate change. In the US the original term was "sustainable development," a term adopted by the Agenda 21 program of the United Nations. * Sustainability * is nowadays used as an umbrella term to measure, to calculate the outcome all of human activity. Can We Ever Make Our Towns Sustainable? There are many answers and resolutions to this question. But in the moment we are not moving in this direction. Less sustainability - what's stopping us? The Webster dictionary definition is: ".. designating of, or characterized by a practice that sustains a given condition, as economic growth or a human population, without destroying or depleting natural resources, polluting the environment, etc ..." Wikipedia describes sustainability as: ".. Sustainability is the capacity of maintaining a certain process or state. It is now most frequently used in connection with biological and human systems. In an ecological context, sustainability can be defined as the ability of an ecosystem to maintain ecological processes, functions, biodiversity and productivity into the future. Sustainability has become a complex term that can be applied to almost every facet of life on Earth, particularly the many different levels of biological organization, such as: wetlands prairies and forests and is expressed in Human organization concepts, such as: Eco-villages, Eco-municipalities, sustainable cities, and human activities and disciplines, such as: sustainable agriculture, sustainable architecture and renewable energy. For humans to live sustainable, the Earth's resources must be used at a rate at which they can be replenished. Our studies and research look into the following issues: What are the requirements and feasibility of developing truly renewable energy sources? How can we consider the role of technology in finding solutions to the problem of sustainability? Technology alone will not supply all the answers. Examples will include re-engineering the water cycle that humans practice the energy cycle that humans practice the transportation cycle How can we work on sustainability and have a healthy prosperity across our own society, as well as across the globe?

Without the food from our oceansmillions of humans will die |
and a place to stand,
and I can move the Earth."
That's what Archimedes said.
Many environmentalists are unable
to move the Earth
into sustainability because they are pushing
on low leverage points.

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insane." That wise sentence is from our favorite scientist: Albert Einstein Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation refuses to do this repetition of false doing We agree with Archimedes and ask our members: "Give us the right lever!" and we will move Earth population to more sustainability, to a safer future for the next generation. We invite you to explore how to do this! Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation gives you the knowledge and understanding. We offer distant learning, we give advice. One way to reduce human impact is to use renewable energy. We show and explain renewable energy to YOU how to use Solar energy - free energy from our sun and we explain HOW - WHY - WHAT to do. The use of sun power is sustainable for millions of years. We work hard to create a toxin free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals. We campaign for sustainable agriculture (we inform politicians, farmers, ranchers, talk to kids and adults) Earth needs biodiversity Humans need biodiversity to survive! Bear Springs Blossom Nature Conservation works hard to protect biodiversity. Burning fossil fuel changes our climate and is not sustainable. (It took millions of years to produce oil, coal, gas but we burn fossil fuels within a few generations The more you know the more we can do! Emissions reductions and increases in the use of energy-efficient technologies are strongly needed. We are an international non-profit organization. We all work without a salary. Every cent of your membership dues works to fight climate change! ??Ask other organizations how much of your donation they spend on administrative costs?? Our members give us the power to implement sustainability. The more members we have, the more we can accomplish! |
Important to us:
Enough healthy drinkable water,
good breathable air,
healthy food, and
enough natural resources!
Let's take care of Earth,
save it for the next generation.
Sustainable development
It is a pattern of resource use that aims
to meet human needs while preserving
the environment.
These needs shouldn't be met not now,
but in the indefinite future.
Sustainable development meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable development ties together concern
for the carrying capacity of natural systems
with the social challenges facing humanity.
As early as the 1970s "sustainability" was employed
to describe an economy
"in equilibrium with basic ecological support systems"
Ecologists have pointed to the “limits of growth”
and presented the alternative of a “steady state economy”
in order to address environmental concerns.
The field of sustainable development can be
conceptually broken into three constituent parts:
environmental sustainability
economic sustainability and
socio-political sustainability.
Nature will survive without Humans
BUT
Humans cannot survive without Nature
