in terms of sustainable development
plz help

Even if it initially cost more, the investment in sustainable energy sources, may eventually pay off financially. But whatever demand we can take off fossil fuels will allow those resources to last longer.
George asks…
How is Obama’s absurd policy of less, but more expensive energy helping us?
Energy is the Raw Material of Prosperity…you cannot have one without the other. Why is that fact so hard for Obama to understand?
admin answers:
He does understand it. He is a globalist. He believes the US should have no more than any other country. Remember his insistence on being “fair”. Look up UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. You’ll get it.

Lizzie asks…
What other energy efficient/sustainable courses can I take other than LEED?
I want to become an Energy Efficient/Sustainable Consultant. I check the USGBC website daily for courses in NYC for after the summer to no avail. I am interested in taking any other course that pertains to energy efficiency and sustainability. So far, I have checked NYSERDA’s website and the AEA’s website; however, they have no courses available for after the summer.
Can someone please let me know where energy efficient/sustainable courses are taught in NYC?
admin answers:
I don’t any in NYC, but I just earned an AAS. Degree in Sustainable Development @ College of Menominee Nation in Wisconsin. As far as i know CMN is one the only schools in the midwest of offer a dedicated program about sustainability.

1.environmental sustainability, 2.economic sustainability, 3.social sustainability and 4.political sustainability
So u should really be asking more than 3 questions!
-How to provide the best outcomes for the continuity of poverty relief , equitable standards of living, basic needs of all peoples while preserving biodiversity and ecosystems?
-What are the business initiatives to operate in a socially responsible manner?
-How can firms create less impacts on human rights while they can still maximise their profits ?
– What methods could be used to continuously improve living standards by long-term reconciliation of development projects ?
-How to encourage renewable energy use for continuous economic development?
C-How can we establish continuity in political practices (the incentives) to avoid ireversible dammage to natural capital or environments ?

Your Questions About Sustainable Energy Development
William asks…
what is the relationship between sustainable development and environmental awareness?
I’m not quite sure what is meant by sustainable development, or how I could link it with the other one.
I need it for a short speech I’ll be doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 🙂
admin answers:
Sustainable development is the building of a community in a way that is environmentally friendly and uses renewable resources. Things to look for in sustainable development are:
-transportation: walking/biking/public transportation efficient
-energy: renewable energy source located close by
-city government: new bylaws encourage citizens to build individual homes in an environmentally friendly way
environmental awarness is needed for sustainability, but is more about individuals making green choices in their every day lives.

How long is the working life of electronic products?
I am writing a paper about the working life of electronic products and the effect and meaning of longer working life on energy saving and sustainable development. Could you help me find some raw materials, data and examples? Thanks a lot!
examples i.e. mobilephone, music player, TV, etc.
admin answers:
You might look into articles and info on Planned Obsolescence which became prevalent back in the 20’s – 50’s as a means to expand production and increase sales by intentionally engineering products to fail within a set lifespan…a lifespan which could have been extended by using better materials or techniques and conserved raw materials. Some countries in Europe established regulations that household items had to last a set time in order to preserve scarce resources after WW II. PO also incorporated fashion as a way to get consumers interested in the latest designs which also increased sales demand. American designer Brooks Stevens popularized the idea of PO in the 50’s.
There are indeed some considerations when designing consumer products which should take into account that it’s also unnecessary to design products to last too long if new technology makes them obsolete and less efficient than newer models will be in the future.
Lifespans of electronics can vary according to design, engineering, available repair parts and use….the art of engineering is to design products using the minimum amount of materials for their targeted intended use and other concerns. There are steam engines which have lasted for decades in commercial use …the Panama Canal lock system has also lasted for decades with minor repairs. Some remotely operated electronic satellite or GPS navigational systems are designed to last for years or decades.

Your Questions About Sustainable Energy Development
William asks…
Class, the “green” movement is creating new companies and new industries that help with energy conservation,?
renewal energy development, environmental clean-up, and other ways to make life on Earth more sustainable. What are some opportunities for small businesses to make profits in this area? What advantages might small businesses have over large businesses in pursuing these opportunities?
admin answers:
Simple, most of green products, till now to be honest, at lest not impressive if not worst. If you have a small business, ideas and know how, you can produce better quality working green products versus big corporations that produce stuff that either doesn’t work or very poor quality. After all your small business will depend on quality of the products it pushing.
James asks…
What do conservatives believe they are achieving by putting off the development of sustainable energy?
Do they not know that any financial price they have to pay for it now will be doubled or tripled by the time their children are forced to deal with the fact that the fossil fuels are not infinite and their price depends on them being plentiful?
admin answers:
Conservatives are not putting off developing sustainable energy
You are free to invest YOUR time and money into it any time you want.
