What is sustainability and why should I care?

Last year we have surveyed 5,000 people from across the country and I am glad that 78% of the respondents can hear about sustainable development and understand their general meaning. But as for the actual definition and practical application, people are not sure. In fact, 55% think that there is no difference between recycling and sustainability. Recycling is important, but sustainable development is far beyond this.

I can understand this confusion. The term "sustainability" and related phrases such as "environmental protection" and "green" are not regulated, but companies and products also abuse the terms of product marketing.

So we want to break the "sustainability" and let you know what it means when Boxed Water is a sustainable alternative to PET bottles.

As a sustainable water company, we strive to incorporate these definitions into our products and businesses. Use paper made from responsible and sustainable forests - this means that the harvested trees continue to replenish the new trees. We use urban groundwater supply on both sides of the country to reduce our carbon footprint considerably (rather than underground). Also, boxed water can be recycled 100%!

There are other things that let us work together. Sustainable lifestyle is not just recycling (unfortunately only 9% of plastic is recycled). Together with us in several ways to move towards a better planet:

As Dalai Lama 14 says, "If you think it is too small for you to function, please try to sleep with the mosquitoes."

And a new lifestyle concept of sustainable development was born. The activities we do should be sustainable so that the next generation can get the same resources as ours. We should not pollute the environment, pay attention to the environment and make people live safe. Contamination can lead to deterioration of the environment and deterioration of quality of life. It is related to all components of the environment or is described by Biome, Aldo Leopold. In Aldo Leopold Land Ethics, "When actions help maintain the integrity, stability and beauty of a biome, its behavior is considered correct" (Leopold 1949). Therefore, people contaminating the natural environment are morally wrong.

In fact, in order to improve and protect the environment from pollution, there must be sustainability between the environment and development. The concept of sustainable development is based on the idea that natural resources should be used to benefit the present and future generations. It is well known that the increase in global industrial activity requires the use of increasingly depleted natural resources. Now, the world recognizes resource conservation, efficient use of resources, and the need for environmentally friendly corporate policy and action. The country needs environmental policy and planning, but the global sensitivity must be based on regional needs. Finally, if sustainable development has to be transformed from purely wishful thinking or slogan to reality, the whole world (developed and developing countries) will have a new world in which the new economic order and technical order match each other We must move towards order. of

Sustainable urban concepts and links to sustainable development have been discussed since the early 1990s 2 Sustainable cities have been developed as a sustainable city without imposing unsustainable regions or world natural resources and systems, "Development needs of need" should be satisfied. "Demand" (Satterthwaite, 1992, p 3). In this sense, as explained in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, the consumption pattern of high-income strata in the city is responsible for the use of the important parts of the limited resources of the world, and for the generation of polluted waste It made a big contribution. Sustainable development should focus on improving the livelihoods and working conditions of the poor, such as affordable housing, health care, water and sanitation, electricity use and improvement.
