Unit 5 Green Skills

Session 1 - Sustainable Development


Sustainable development is the development that satisfies the needs of the present
without compromising the capacity of future generations, guaranteeing

the balance between economic growth, care for the environment and social well-
being.
Problems Related to Sustainable Development
(a) Food:
The amount of rich, fertile land needed to grow
crops, such as wheat, rice, etc., is becoming
less as we are using up more and more land for
other purposes. Soil nutrients are also getting
depleted and lots of chemicals are spoiling the
soil due to use of chemical fertilisers.
(b) Water:

We use fresh water from rivers and ponds


for drinking and cleaning but dump garbage
into
them. The rivers and ponds are getting
polluted.
This way after several years, we will have no
clean
water for our use.
(c) Fuel:

We are using a lot of wood from trees as


fuels and for construction of homes and furniture.
As more and more trees are being cut, it is
affecting the climate of the place. Extreme
weather
conditions, such as floods, extreme cold or heat,
are seen in many places, which affect the people
living there.

Session 2: Our Role in Sustainable Development

Quality Education
1. use the facilities present in our areas.
2. take our friends to school.
3. help friends study.
4. stop friends from dropping out of school.
Clean Water and Sanitation
● Building toilets and creating awareness towards sanitation.
● Promoting awareness to keep water sources clean.
Affordable and Clean Energy
● Using solar power
● Use of biogas is also an eco-friendly alternative to natural gas.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
(a) study and find good jobs to take care of ourselves and our families.

(b) work hard and contribute to society.

(c) learn and develop skills so that we get add value in our community.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
1. Save energy by switching off lights and fans when not in use.

2. Use natural light as much as possible.

3. Use energy efficient lights (LED bulbs) and appliances.


Responsible Consumers and Producers
1. reusing paper, glass, plastic, water, etc.

2. taking cloth bags to market carrying fruits and vegetables.

3. donate things we do not use such as clothes, books, furniture, food, etc.

4. Buy and eat seasonal fruits and vegetables from local growers.

5. Repair leaking taps and pipes to avoid wasting water.

6. Sort and treat garbage before disposing.


Protect Life Below Water
Tons of plastic is found in the seas, which is killing marine life. Protecting marine life,
saving our oceans from pollution is necessary to preserve the marine life.
Protect Life on Land
Cutting of trees is leading to soil erosion and making land dry and unusable for
cultivation. Planting more tree to replace the ones that we have cut is an important

step towards sustainable development.


Reduced Inequalities
1. be helpful to one another.

2. be friendly with everyone.

3. include everyone while working or playing.

4. help others by including everyone whether they are small or big, girl or boy, belong to
any class or caste.
