Abstract

The present paper is about “sustainable use of natural resources”.resources are the backbone of every economy.Human sustainability interfaces with economies through the voluntary trade consequences of economic activity.Moving towards sustainability (or applied sustainability) while keeping the quality of life high is a social challenge that entails,among other factors,international and national law,urban planning and transport,local and individual lifestyles and ethical consumerism.Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.But sustainability is also a call to action, a task in progress or “journey”.

And therefore a political process, so some definitions set out common goals and values.The earth charter speaks of “a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature,universal human rights,economic justice,and a culture of peace.”To add complication the word sustainability is applied not only to human sustainability  on earth,but to many situations and contexts over many scales of space and time,from small local ones to the global balance of production and consumption.It implies responsible and proactive social,environmental ,and economic growth to ensure a desirable planet for all species now and in the future.It can also just refer to a future intention .”sustainable agriculture” is not necessary a current situation but a goal for the future,a prediction .Careful resource management can be applied at many scales,from economic sectors like agriculture,manufacturing and industry, to work organizations,the consumption patterns of households and individuals and to theresource demands of individual goods and services.
