Sustainble Activities?
Some activities are more sustainable than others and some can't even compete. The sustainable activities are mainly ones part of the tertiary sector, such as tourism. An example of a sustainble tourist attraction is the Stratford Festival which brings over $59,000,000 of gross revenue annually to support the economy while meeting the needs of our generation's entertainment and respecting the environment. IF we take advantage of our resources, our primary and secondary industries will no longer be as sustainable as they are now. Manufacturing is one of Stratford's key industries but it will only be beneficial to our economy for a short period of time due to the possibility of our present generation using ALL valuable resources. As well, the factories where the actual manufacturing occurs will pollute the environment until it becomes unbearable to withstand. |
Increase Sustainability
Sustainability is easy to increase if a large amount of people choose to take action. The community could increase sustainability by using renewable sources, different forms of transportation among other things. Simple things, such as turning off electricity when you're not using it or taking shorter showers help to make a big difference. This increases energy and water conservation which is an important factor in a sustainable development because such are some of the most useful resources. |
Walking or biking could compensate for driving whilst eating more locally grown or organic foods could compensate for heavily processed foods or produce from far places which need to be transported. Eating less meat products will also help to improve our sustainable development for future generations. The three R's also aid in making a change, therefore, one should remember to reduce their ecological footprint, reuse what is possible and recycle what they do not use. Using what you need instead of overusing makes a big difference in sustainability. More importantly, making efficient use of those available materials and resources which you need. These ideas will not only help increase sustainability but also make the city look nicer! As well, these suggestions would also aid one to become a healthier person.
