Visions of a sustainable world Creating a shared vision of a sustainable and desirable future is the most critical task facing humanity today. This vision must be of a world that we all want, a world that provides permanent prosperity within the Earth’s biophysical constraints in a fair. At the centre of the idea of sustainability is an ethical imperative to pass on a undiminished future to our children. To bring our world toward sustainability — or any other goal — we need to take different kinds of

Maybe in the future, the technology will get so far that they can recreate some extincted spieces. Here is araucaria mirabilis which was living approximately 160 million years ago If we create some culture on the field or cut down some alder forest and replace it with spruces, will it have interaction to the whole world? It's extremely difficult to answer, because there are so many factors. 4. slaid Renewable resources have became metaphor with meaning that its easy way to produce energy.

They dump their waste into forests and even rivers which causes air and water pollution. Fortunately, people have come up with different organisations and events to help clean our envrionment. An annual event such as ,,Teeme ära!" motivates people to go out, spend time with friends and family and have fun while cleaning up the trash. This event first took place in 2008 and is now one of the biggest worldwide environmental events. Estonian Commission on Sustainable Development is one of the organisations that is working on improving the conditions of our country´s environment. This organisation focuses on the growth of welfare, economical balance and viability of the Estonian cultural space. Its main goal is to raise the welfare of our society without damaging the environment. This organisation works with the government to be successful in global competition with a sustainable development model and preservation of the traditional values of Estonia.
Adventure Tourism Project Management Madli Tuvike There is no such thing as a totally sustainable tourism (Swarbrooke, 1999). Tourism as one of the leading industries in the world is contributing to sustainable development (Mintel, 2005). Tourism needs to cope with changing world and world order, also trends that are occurring. Sustainable tourism is one rising industry in tourism market. Swarbroke (1999) and David (2011) are suggesting that sustainable tourism and sustainability is taking wider part in tourism industry. Moreover, Mintel (2005) states that tourism contribution to sustainable development is being recognised increasingly by governments and international organisations. In addition, United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, a.i.) states that tourism nowadays takes full responsibility of impacts that it is making, such as current and future economic, social and environmental

Sustainable water resources systems are those designed and managed to best serve people living today and in the future. Säästev veevarude süsteemid on kavandatud ja juhitud, selleks et kõige parem teenindada inimestele, kes elavad praegu ja tulevikus. The actions that we as a society take now to satisfy our own needs and desires should depend not only on what those actions will do for us but also on how they will affect our descendants. Meetmeid, et me nagu ühiskond võtame ette praegu selleks, et rahuldada oma vajadusi ja soove peaks sõltuma mitte ainult sellest, millised need meetmed teevad meie jaoks, vaid ka kuidas need mõjutavad meie järeltulijad.

Palm oil Palm oil is a type of edible vegetable oil that is derived from the palm fruit, grown on the African oil palm tree. Oil palms are originally from Western Africa, but can flourish wherever heat and rainfall are abundant. Today, palm oil is grown throughout Africa, Asia, North America, and South America, with 85% of all palm oil globally produced and exported from Indonesia and Malaysia; but most of the time not using sustainable measures. The industry is linked to major issues such as deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous rights abuses in the countries where it is produced, as the land and forests must be cleared for the development of the oil palm plantations. According to the World Wildlife Fund, an area the equivalent size of 300 football fields of rainforest is cleared each hour to make way for palm oil production. This large-scale deforestation is pushing many

,,Agroecological Economics" by Paul Wojtkowski Author: Janno Ott Tutor: Tiia Krass Tartu 2011 Introduction I'm writing my book review about Agroecological Economics. Which is written by Paul Wojtkowski, who is very famous as leading proponent and analyst. This book presents a wide range of new and diverse techniques for sustainable agriculture for the purpose of enhancing economic interest. Since agriculture is growing really convivially, the emphasis is on changing from conventional agriculture to more efficient systems and practise. This book is very educational because it explains how is the best way to analyze the experimental results from intercropping and multiple cropping trials. Also offers a means for risk assessments. I chose this book because my family also is engaged to farm business and agriculture.
Smart cities Nowadays more than half of all people in the world live in urban areas. By mid century this will increase about 20 per cent. For successful operations people need smart cities. The smart city functions like the human body. Smart cities make cities more liveable, efficient, sustainable and safe. Smart cities are built around users. It leverage technology to serve people. Smart cities start with an information network designed to optimize resources and thereby promote sound, sustainable development. It has been expected that in 2025 there are at least 88 smart cities. Connected streets are the core of smart cities. Smart connected streetlights open up many possibilities. They can gather and send information. Standby lighting can switch on when somebody walks by. There can be specific lighting to cross the street safely. Smart cities can also help you finding a parking spot. Life can b...

Environmental problems Nimi Klass Biodiversity The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity, is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. In some way or form, almost all cultures have recognized the importance of nature and its biological diversity for their societies and have therefore understood the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance. Why Is Biodiversity Important? Who Cares? · Why is Biodiversity important? Does it really matter if there aren't so many species?
(idu) Klastri liikmete lähedusest (nii asukoha kui ka tegevusvaldkonna seisukohalt) tingituna on neil võimalus kasu saada erinevatest positiivsetest välismõjudest. Need välismõjud on näiteks liigipääs spetsialiseerunud tööjõule ja tarnijatele; kogemuste ja teadmiste jagamine; surve suurema tootlikkuse saavutamiseks, et püsida üha suurenevas konkurentsis; ning pidev teadmiste juurdevool tänu tihedale suhtlusele klientide ja tarnijatega.

down the food web the increasing effort needed to catch something of commercial value marine mammals, sharks, sea birds, and non commercially viable (vajabl) fish species in the web of marine biodiversity are overexploited, killed as bycatch and discarded, and threatened (trätnd) by the industrialized fisheries. Scientists agree that at current exploitation rates many important fish stocks will be removed from the system within 25 years. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?: Every long-term successful and sustainable fishery, near-shore or high-seas, needs to be managed according to some basic ground rules: Safe catch limits, Controls on bycatch, Protection of pristine (pristiin) and important habitats, Monitoring and Enforcement (inforsment). It's fair to say that individuals cannot solve this global problem all by ourselves, we need politicians to strengthen international law. What we can do is make a difference.

OVERFISHING Presented by: Siiri Paurson Tartu 2015 INTRODUCTION What is overfishing? What is causing overfishing? Why is overfishing a problem? Fishing down the food web (toitumisahela võrgustik) What can we do to help? WHAT IS OVERFISHING? Catching too much fish for the system to support leads to an overall degradation to the system. Overfishing is a non-sustainable use of the oceans. WHAT IS CAUSING OVERFISHING? Worldwide, fishing fleets are at least two to three times as large as needed to take present day catches of fish and other marine species. On a global scale we have enough fishing capacity to cover at least four Earth like planets. Overfishing have a large impact on the basic functioning of our marine ecosystems. These unselective fishing practices and gear cause treme...

whose mission is to develop and disseminate globally applicable Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. These Guidelines are for voluntary use by organisations for reporting on the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of their activities, products, and services. The aim of the Guidelines is to assist reporting organisations and their stakeholders in articulating and understanding contributions of the reporting organisations to sustainable development. Trends The key trends during the last two years are: Expanding globalization – Expansion of global capital markets and information technology continue to bring unprecedented opportunities for the creation of new wealth. Search for new forms of global governance – Globalisation challenges the capacity of existing international institutions to govern corporate activity. Reform of corporate governance – Pressures on corporations to establish and maintain high

The criteria for any acceptable energy supply will continue to be cost, safety, and security of supply, as well as environmental considerations. 2. How can we encourage sustainable development? * To encourage you in the following way. To allocate money for the construction of such stations to States that are unable to pay for expensive power plants. Permanent sponsorship of these stations and verification.
thought I would really enjoy reading book about business. Eric Ries defines in this book a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. I learned about startup philosophy, which is used by both startups and more mature companies. This Book part´s are Vision, Define, Learn, Experiment, Leap, Test, Measure, Pivot or Preserve, Grow and Innovate. My favorite sentence from this book is “Those who look to adopt lean startup as a defined set of steps or tactics will not succeed. In a startup situation, things constantly go wrong.” I recommend this book for everybody who are interested about startup philosophy and

performing their sacred dances for tourists to get living. These things show that the destruction is not just a superficial consenquence of tourism, but is often an indication of much more deep-rooted cultural changes. But a quiet cultural revolution is happening. Communities are standing up and asking for something different. Over the last decade there has been a rapid growth in local ,,alternative tourism" initiatives. This means that buildings are built by locals with sustainable local materials, food is bought from local farmers and a limit on development has been set so that local communities aren't being overrun and the the destination isn't overly dependent on tourism.
current resources. Second of all, the problem with most renewables is that it does not scale well. Furthermore they do not have constant output sources of energy. They only supplement the existing systems. The biggest problem is the the increasing cost, if the most optimal places are taken. There are problems with using nuclear energy. For example, nuclear proliferation, plant decommissioning and waste are among the top problems. However, it is greenest sustainable constant form of energy that Estonia can potentially afford. The fact, that Estonia has plutonium fuel resources available is just an additional bonus. To sum up. First of all i talked about how Estonia is facing energy crisis right now. Second of all I elaborated that there are no means to buy energy from neighbouring countries. For closure, I mentioned that although nuclear energy has problems, there might not be a better solution that is affordable.

Efficient initiatives to help protect the environment Just like our bodies, the environment functions best when it's in balance. Unfortunately, we're not quite there. Many of us believe that we lead lives that respect nature but our consumption habits give us away. Many little habits that seem to be sustainable are in fact polluting. Along with pollution, issues like depletion of resources, the rise of consumerism, and the "throw away" culture have led to serious issues. That being said, the fight's not over yet. Fortunately, more people than ever are both aware of and active in the protection of the environment. To protect the environment, waste management and recycling are crucial. When we recycle, used materials are converted into new products, reducing the need to consume natural resources

On võimalik, et õige käitumise korral võib turism avaldada kohalikule kogukonnale positiivset mõju, seda läbi ühtekuuluvustunde, kogukonna majandustegevuse toetamise ja uute töökohtade loomise läbi. Ebakompetentse käitumise puhul on tagajärgedeks kultuurikeskkonna rikkumine, kasvavad elamiskulud, kohalike välja tõrjumine, kuritegevuse kasv, traditsioonide kadumine ja elukeskkonna saastamine.2 2 Sustainable Tourism and Economic Instruments: the case of Hvar, Croatia. 7 3.
