Sustainable Habitat

Sustainable Habitat-What it means and what should we do to achieve it.....explained in a very basic 'elementary' way!

1. SUSTAINABLE HABITAT Sustainable HABITAT A Project/Presentation by:- ADVAIT A. UKIDVE AKSHAY U. BENKALKAR

2. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? To understand sustainable habitat completely, we first need to understand the meanings of the two words. Sustainable-(adj. sustain)- maintain Habitat- natural home of one or more organisms So, sustainable habitat means the maintenance of our natural home.

3. WHAT SHOULD WE DO? For maintaining our natural habitat(Earth), we should:- Promote energy efficiency Promote the use of eco-friendly fuels. (e.g. LPG, CNG, etc.) Better manage municipal solid waste Better manage the sewage disposal system Promote public transport

4. PROMOTE ECO-FRIENDLY FUELS Eco-Friendly fuels include LPG and CNG These fuels emit a smaller amount of carbon monoxide(CO) per joule. They are considered to burn cleanly. Therefore, the use of such fuels help reduce air pollution. This helps in sustaining our habitat.

5. BETTER SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM A proper sewage disposal system helps in sustaining our habitat. The sewage is disposed off into a nearby river. The river thus gets polluted and the marine life, depleted. Loss in biodiversity destroys man’s habitat and ultimately man himself. This leads to loss in bio-diversity.

6. BETTER PUBLIC TRANSPORT Using public transport reduces the carbon emissions in the environment. Many people travel together in the modes of public transport(i.e. bus, trains, etc.).If a condition arises that all the people travelling by bus use their own vehicles instead, the carbon emissions will be higher.
