Again, Human needs to live a sustainable life. The commission of the United Nation in 1987, defines sustainable development as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In a Sustainable Society, people are not subject to conditions that systematically undermine their capacity to meet their needs.

Moreover, even if we create any industry or factories, it is our responsibility to ensure that any gases produced from the factories don’t harm nature.

Week-08- Sustainability Solutions

  Assalamualaikum. I welcome you all to my new blog. Today my blog topic is ‘Sustainability Solutions'. Earlier, we have discussed this in our class and now I am going to write about this topic. First of all, we need to know what is sustainability solutions. Well, sustainability solutions are to make the world a better place for everyone. It is our core responsibility to take care of and provide good service to the environment.  Planting trees can be one solution for this. By planting more trees, our environment will never run out of oxygen and we will be able to get more and more oxygen from our environment. Trees inhale carbon dioxide and keep our system balanced. This is how it is important to plant trees as much as we can. Again, it is important to think about plastic pollution. Plastic usually throws away after using it that eventually causes water pollution, air pollution. Therefore, it is important to recycle plastics after being used and they should not be thrown here ...

  Assalamualaikum everyone. Welcome to my other blog. We have read about environmental challenges in our class and yes, today I will talk about environmental challenges that we used to face while living life. Firstly, I will talk about Global warming m The consistent rise of the temperature of the earth is called global warming. It is one of the biggest challenges that we are facing. For 25 million years the earth’s climate is fluctuating, cycling to ice ages from warm appearance. But from the last century, the planet temperature has risen unusually fast about 1.2 to 1.4-degree spheroid. It’s human activities that are driving the temperature up. Since, industrial revolution factories, power plants, fossil fuel from cars like oil release carbon dioxide and many gases into the atmosphere and is harming the earth gradually. Another challenge is overpopulation. The population of the earth is getting unsustainable. The earth now is facing a shortage of resources like water, food, etc. T...

Week6: Ecology and Nature

  Assalamualaikum everyone to my another blog. My today’s blog is about 'Ecology and Nature'. This earth is our beautiful home. When our planet is clean and healthy, people are healthy. Plants and animals are healthy too. We get everything we need from the earth. Our foods, homes, tools, and clothes come from nature. So we must take care of nature so it can give us these things in return. As Muslims, it is our first and foremost responsibility to take care of our nature. We are taking benefits from nature now and then. This is why it is our concern to be careful about the other species of nature. It is vice versa.  Sometimes I have observed cats and butterflies on our campus. They move around in our campus simultaneously as our close ones. It is our responsibility to create a friendly zone for other species of nature. We should not harm these animals and insects. It is all about balance. We have to keep our nature clean and healthy and make it convenient for the other animals ...

Week 5: Ecology

  Assalamualaikum and welcome to my other new blog which is about Ecology. Ecology is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. The study of the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical environment. Human activities affect the functions of the ecosystem and interactions between biotic and abiotic factors. For instance, Excessive cutting of trees causing deforestation that is making huge destruction for the livelihood of many animals. Again, the effects of human activities on the eco system that causes the transformation of the Ecosystem  from one to another. Moreover, human activities and misuse might cause the extinction of species. We know, India in their earlier time has the species of Cheetah known as Asiatic Cheetah. However, because of the different activities and ill deeds of human beings that particular species got declined. Increasing use of resources due to increased population also damaging the natural resourc...

Week 4: Social Development

  Assalamualaikum and happy Ramadan to everyone. I welcome you all to enjoy my new blog. Today my blog topic is about ' Social Development'. The ability to form positive and pleasing relationships with others is known as Social Development. It is closely associated with emotional development as well. These two aspects of development are frequently turned into socio-emotional development. It means that both of the development occur simultaneously. It is our core responsibility to take care of our surroundings and to know about what is going on in another person’s life. If I am happily living my life that would not fulfill my job as a good human being. We need to take care of needy people who belong to the lower rank of society. We should help them to make a societal balance between the upper class and the lower class. Social development needs to be applied in countries like – Bangladesh, India, Africa, Pakistan, etc. For instance, one-third of person in India or Bangladesh is li...

Week 3: Environmental Ethics

Assalamualaikum everyone to my another new blog and it is about Environmental Ethics. Environmental ethics deals with issue related to the right of individuals that are fundamental to life and well being. This concerns not only the needs of each person today, but also those who will come after us. It will also deals with the rights of living creatures that inhabit our earth. Environment destruction is largely caused by the consumption of the rich. However, the worst sufferer are the poorer. Environment ethics should be concerned about everyone. Man is making the destruction of the environment by being selfish and not thinking about the next generation and others. Now a days people are much denial for the responsibility for misusing the environment. I have learned in my class about this topic. Our honorable Sir has mentioned the term in the class. This is called, ‘not in my backyard' problem.  Moreover, Islam also does not allow and teach us to be a denial person. Islam has always ...

Week 2: Balancing Ecology and Economics

Assalamualaikum, welcome to my blog about ‘Balancing Ecology and Economic’. Now a days economy is flourishing very rapidly worldwide. However, the world is encountering its disadvantages at a same time. Moreover, the stakeholders are only focusing on profit rather environmental destructions which is eventually drowning them in to darkness. Mushrooming of hundreds and thousands factories show the growth of economy of a country but eventually it is harming the ecological balance around us. Therefore, we are living in a polluted environment which is totally man mane. It is now causing air pollution, sound pollution, water pollution and ultimately turns into human disease. That ends up breathing in a sick environment. Economic growth needs to be environmentally sustainable. Economic activity threatens the environment, and this is why the situation is worsening day by day. We need  solutions now to protect the planet. But we need to guarantee a sustainable economy for future generations...
