My Sustainable Vision

I can still recall the days where I would run down the block chasing after the ice cream truck. I lived near a park in Brooklyn, and my daily summer routine consisted of endless enjoyment at the park. As a nine-year-old, all I focused on was having fun and playing handball with my friends at the park. Every day I set out on the same task, and did not realize what I would do if those friends were no longer there.

Kids who live in places like housing tracts, condos, and planned communities are not allowed or discouraged to take part in outdoor activities. More than 57 million people live in places that control what that person and their family does. Even the public government can restrict children’s access to nature. “For the most part the criminalization of natural play is more suggestive than real. However, in some communities, young people who try to recreate their parents’ childhoods may face misdemeanor charges or see their parents sued.” Page 29. With these regulations kids are basically forced to join a sports teams. Sports are good for kids but it doesn’t let them be free and do what they want. Studies have shown that modern families are spending more time watching television and on the computer. Growing obesity rates among adults and children because of diets and sedentary lifestyles. Since kids are not going outside and playing as much they are getting less exercise and are more obese than ever. U.S. researcher Jane Clark, a University of Maryland professor of kinesiology suggests “that a generation of children is not only being raised indoors, but is being confined to even smaller spaces.” “calls them “containerized kids”- they spend more and more time in car seats, high chairs, and even baby seats for watching TV. When children do go outside, they’re often placed in containers-strollers-and pushed by walking or jogging parents.” These are used to keep the kids safe but research suggests that it effects the long-term health of children. As more people are being affected by nature deficit more scientific evidence is emerging that indicates direct contact with nature is essential for mental and physical

Regularly, we would go somewhere and do something new regardless of whether we were in the country or in the city. When we were in the country we would stay at my uncle’s grandparents’ house. They owned a cow and a calf, so while we were there my uncle’s grandma would milk the cow after dinner and give us fresh, warm milk to drink. They also had a big farm filled with rows of corn, which my siblings and I would run through. There was only one thing my siblings and I were not used to, and that was having to run outside to the outhouse when you needed to use the bathroom.

Kids on my block always loved to play outside. Growing up we always knew each other. We cherished the times we would spend with each other. Whether it being on the Scorching hot days of Summer, the chilly days of Fall, Or the rainy days of Spring. We would be on that street hanging out and spend time with each other.

Dreamworld’s owners, Ardent Leisure has developed a park that has accounted for all difficulties of sustainability despite the location and size of the amusement park. Dreamworld is a theme park situated in Coomera, near the east coast of Queensland. Due to its isolation, it is imperative to have effective sustainability methods to reserve the resources expended by the park’s energy demanding attractions. Sustainability will be the issue brought to light in this report, and a new ride will be implemented with all of the characteristics of being economically, environmentally and socially responsible. The management of the ride will be investigated in the report, including the legislations that govern sustainability.

Given all we’ve discussed about the ecologic condition of the planet now and if current consumption patterns continue tell me your views on whether you think Americans as a whole are moving toward a sustainable society. If not what are your views on one or two changes to these patterns that could improve potential for achieving a sustainable society.

My friends, that were the same age and had the same interests as me had to make our own fun, this involved a lot of making shelters or cabins in the small wooded areas around town, hunting and fishing. As the years went on and we got older our parents gave us more freedom because they could trust us in this small town, the kind of trust that you couldn't give the average 10 year old in a big city. When I finally got to middle school I got a summer job working at a local farm in town, this gave me a big responsibility and work ethic thats followed me through my high school years and hopefully continue for the rest of my

Growing up that way, with a sense of adventure and care freeness, really has defined me as the person I am today. I love going outside every chance I get, I make use of what I have and don’t complain if it is not good enough. Since my childhood was so busy and I enjoyed it so much I never had time to get in trouble. Now that I am older I have a want to go and do something different and adventurous in life. I truly believe that is because of my childhood house that built

The significant life experiences that children and peers are laying more interest in, are considered the sources of their concern and care for the environment. These experiences are different from both the perspective of the interviewee to adult people. The streets in case study's analysis can be seen as providing liminal and fuzzy zones supporting young people in the transition to

When I was five years old I began school. In Kindergarden we learned basic things like letters, numbers, and how not to be fully engulfed in flames. For some reason, 2004 was the height of anti-fire education in Missouri and before I knew how to tie my shoes I knew that if I ever was ablaze, to cover my face, fall to my knees, and roll back and fourth. This is what my institution placed serious value upon and because I was a student of that institution I also placed serious value upon it. The same idea must be applied to a university's teaching of environmental sustainability. This is discussed in David Orr's "What is Education For?" Through choosing a curriculum a university chooses what it places value onto, by making the environment a priority it showcases to the future generations that environmental wellness is an important responsibility for them to take ownership.

Parents have become more afraid of car accidents, crime, creepers and diseases which have all become over-exaggerated through the media (“Why Kids Need Nature”). The lack of parental support for children to get eye level with nature and explore its’ beauty in backyards and surrounding environments is detrimental to children’s views on nature. Simple outdoor activities and time to play outside aren’t put on the daily to do list for children because the of the demanding schedule made for them (Louv, “Children's Isolation from the Natural World Is a Threat to Their Health”). Robert Louv did a ten-year study with many families to observe the amount of time children spend interacting with nature. He says in one of his articles, “Some [parents] feel [playing outside] wastes precious time. They're afraid that if they don't get the kids in Suzuki violin lessons they won't get into Harvard," The importance of success that parents place on their children in school, extracurricular activities and lessons can detrimentally suffocate the child’s schedule and prohibit them from being able to learn the best they can. The negative effect that NDD has on a child’s learning about life is significant (“Kids Need to Offset ‘screen time’ with ‘nature time’” A1). To establish basic concepts of life and learning, children need experience with the

On days when it was too hot for the kids to go out their parents would tell them to stay inside the house. When the kids have to stay inside the house the parents usually want it to stay quiet. So the kids would probably sit on the computer, got to sleep otherwise watch TV. This affected the kid’s daily physical activity. To help stop global warming everyone should drive less take bikes, walk or carpool whenever possible otherwise you could buy hybrid cars. On behalf of those who don’t know what carpooling is it is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to.

Global sustainability is multi-faceted topic and is very complex. However, at its essence, global sustainability is defined as using your resources wisely today to give your children a better life tomorrow. It is the balance between using enough to develop right now but leaving enough for future generations. For example, if we were only looking at preserving the environment and not developing it, we might use none of the resources and leave them to be. But the problem with that is that then there is no resources for us to use. On the other hand, if we were just looking to develop the land, we would use all of our resources, but then there would be no more left for the future. Thus, I want our

In today’s global economy sustainability is very important; from the biological aspect to the industries they all play a role on the marine environment. As world population increases the demand of fish rises causing overfishing. Certain laws have been placed to limit the amount of wild fishing to reduce the risk of endangerment. To meet the demand of the population, fish farms are introduced. Pollution and health related issues are part of the challenges of fish farming. Sustainability also affects social areas such as beaches.

In such apprehensive condition, our firm is experiencing a serious issue being an environmental group is emphasizing non biodegradable materials of SafePack. There is an increased emphasis on sustainability of environment. The sustainability of environmental is completely associated with making better decision and performing corrective actions that are favorable in sustaining the nature of world, with particular emphasis on preserving the environment’s capability for the life of humans. Presently, it’s a significant topic, as it’s comprehended by businesses and individuals and has inclusive impact on the environment. The sustainability of environment is intimately associated with effective decision making with major objective
