Sustainability

The Environment

The environment is the sum of all living and non-living elements that affect human life. Biotic elements include animals, plants, forests, and birds, while abiotic elements consist of water, land, sunlight, rocks, and air. These components interact continuously, shaping ecosystems and influencing climate, biodiversity, and natural resources. Human activities also impact the environment, often leading to pollution, deforestation, and global warming.

Our environment provides essential resources like food, shelter, and air, supporting all human needs and maintaining life cycles on Earth. It sustains life, enhances wellbeing, supports health, and offers enjoyment through its broad-ranging contributions.

Here are 10+1 simple things YOU can do to contribute to the protection of our environment:

Adequate Supplies

• Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three “R’s” to conserve natural resources and landfill space.
• Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
• Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.
• Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.

• Choose sustainable. The everyday choices we make all have impacts on our planet. Keep track on your footprint and take your first step with WWF’s environmental Footprint Calculator.
• Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
• Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
• Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
• Don’t send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
• Bike more. Drive less.
• Practice safe sex. It is not only good for your health but also helps to prevent overpopulation and keep the World Population within considerable limits and bearable for our planet.

Overpopulation

How many earths we need if the world’s population lived like…

Understanding potential patterns in future population levels is crucial for anticipating and planning for changing age structures, resource and health-care needs, and environmental and economic landscapes.

Future fertility patterns are a key input to estimation of future population size, but they are surrounded by substantial uncertainty and diverging methodologies of estimation and forecasting, leading to important differences in global population projections.

Changing population size and age structure might have profound economic, social, and geopolitical impacts in many countries. Learn more about forecasted Population Shifts 2017-2100 (top ten countries by population in 2017 & 2100).

Overconsumption

Overconsumption describes a situation where the use of a natural resource has exceeded the sustainable capacity of a system. A prolonged pattern of overconsumption leads to the eventual loss of resource bases available on earth.

Homo Sapiens

Human consumption – of food, energy, and other goods and services – is tied to greenhouse emissions, which in turn drive climate change. Reducing consumption can thus mitigate climate change by limiting greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of goods and services.

Avoid excessive consumption without considering its environmental impact. Contribute to a better planet with every online search by using Ecosia, the tree-planting search engine.

Sustainability as Value Creation

Furthermore, embracing sustainability fosters innovation and builds a legacy that positively impacts both present and future generations. Sustainable leaders pave the way for resilient and thriving communities. Their commitment to ethical practices strengthens stakeholder trust and enhances brand reputation. By prioritizing sustainability, organizations contribute to global efforts in environmental preservation and social responsibility.

Emissions Trading

CO₂ Compensation

Emissions trading is the trading of certificates that entitle the holder to emit a certain amount of CO₂. These certificates are allocated and can be traded, giving emissions a price. The CO₂ price is thus a market-based instrument of environmental policy for reducing CO₂ emissions.

So, the idea is to specifically promote the retail trade (B2C): The (digital) retail of emissions is the trading of certificates that compensate for the emission of a certain amount of CO₂ without the need to purchase a product or other service (e.g. goods of any kind or a trip by plane -> Transfer of CO₂ price from G2B / B2B to B2C).
