I need to do a project, and the topic is sustainable development. I need it urgently.?

Question

The questions that have to be answered are:

How can sustainable development be applied to the following:

1)agriculture and food production

2)industry

3)energy production and use

4)transport

5)tourism

Pls answer ASAP, cos its deadline is approaching!!!! Any resources would be extremely useful. :)

Answer 1

hello. I cannot do everything but I can do some of them. I wish it will be useful for you.

How can sustainable development be applied to transport?

By making mobility of people and goods less damaging to the natural environment. This means avoiding unnecessary journeys, reducing dependency on the car and improving public transport. A very high proportion of car journeys are less than 5 miles, many are less than 3 miles, and car travel could be reduced if more people walked or rode bicycles, if more car sharing was arranged and the telephone or the Internet was used instead of some journeys. Likewise more people and goods could be carried by public transport if regularity and reliability was improved and it was more cost-effective.

How can sustainable development be applied to energy?

Yes! In the short term it is cheaper to increase available energy for new business by cutting wasteful uses rather than by building new generating capacity. Insulation and efficient combustion of oil and gas saves energy which can then be sold for new applications. In the medium and long term the goal is to shift the reliance fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) which, when burnt, eject carbon deposits into the environment, to increased use of renewable energy such as the sun, wind and tides. The cost of generating electricity by these methods continues to fall dramatically and they are becoming economically attractive.

you can continue with this:

How can the development accommodate sustainable transport and reduce the need for travel?

Look for sites, where possible, which link with existing and planned public transport and cycle routes, or with easily managed extensions of those routes, and which can accommodate a range of interdependent uses, e.g. low impact employment, housing and recreation.

Reduce dependence on motor vehicles through car sharing and by limiting on-site parking.

Be aware that some developments will trigger the need for Travel Plans. These can identify a package of measures and improvements to maximise sustainable transport options for all site users.

For larger sites, submit a Transport Assessment to highlight where access can be improved for all modes of transport. Make appropriate provision in liaison with the local Highway Authority.

Answer 2

Sustainable development is basically about restricting our economy and enforcing "politically correct" values upon the people in all areas of life. It comes directly from the United Nations' Agenda 21, which you can read online (but is too long for you to read tonight).

Agriculture and food production is planned to be moved closer to the cities to reduce travel distances. Agriculture will also effectively be "collectivised", i.e. government regulated and perhaps owned (effectively both the same thing). Energy use will be reduced by means of heavy taxes and regulations and it's method of production will be switched to far less efficient and more expensive ("renewable") ones such as wind and solar.

Industry will be heavily regulated in many ways and will be transformed into "public-private partnerships", which will mean that government-favoured businesses will get the jobs and work in acordance with government contracts. Private travel will mostly (if not all) be public transport (buses and trains) and bicycle and walking. Car use will be penalised and roads and facilities will be built to favour the other forms of transport.

Later on, please read through the following websites. They are warning us what "sustainable development" really is, You will not be told at school.
