Our environment is depleting, we all realize but how can we protect it? its a big q
uestions
The main wake up call was the world wide depletion, degradation of the natural existing resources and environment, and indulgence of human activities to exploit the natural resources to their utmost.
We all have read about global warming during our school days, depletion of ozone layer , degradation of environmental conditions and what not … but never gave it a second thought.
It was a common view on developing sites to see uprooted trees .we never bothered to see our river turn into drains, when did smog took over fog we don’t know, but somewhere in our mind all of us knew the reasons and causes.
All of the above effects could have been avoided if each one of us thought it as moral responsibility to think about the little steps that could have been taken as small as not throwing paper or any litter on road.
Anyways its never too late to start afresh and Sustainability and its transformation of design, development, and planning of the built environment has reached a "tip most point," as being reflected in the nation wide adoption of green / sustainable guidelines for development predominantly based on the U.S (LEEDS to be more precise)
There is an insurgence to adopt this criterion in the whole world.

but how effectively has been adopted ??? the progeress is slow but surely for a betterment .
its a common thought that Deteriorating environment is often linked with increasing economic activity, requiring deforestation, energy consumption etc. “Development” being usually held responsible for environmental damage, while environmentalists are accused of being “anti-development”. but is it so ??

what can be done ?? what should we do ?? are there any measures?? surely .. one being sustainable development .
Sustainability was a topic of ignorance till we had abundant of these resources, but bad now if we don’t give a consideration to there depletion or what may lead to their depletion.
We all talk about development, upliftment of the area but that does not mean discrete development from the environment, they can surely go hand in hand, then why not to adopt it ?? why is it that a simple googling of sustainability assessment and architecture give a zero result
Sustainable development should not be an oxymoron but a reality which can be implemented by simple steps of consideration towards development in form of structures which should lead to development of the surrounding environment ..

And I think our approach should be as suggested by some learned
Think globally - act locally. Look around - find others that are doing something you resonate with - join them.
