A sustainable ecosystem is a natural system that can maintain its balance,
health, and productivity over an extended period without depleting its
resources or causing irreversible harm to its components or the environment.
It is a self-regulating and self-sufficient system where all elements interact
harmoniously. Sustainability mainly focus on renewable, recyclable and
biodegradable resources. The use of different resources like bamboo ,teak,
straw ,terracotta bricks ,cork, etc- Using solar panels to generate renewable
energy and incorporating plants that release oxygen creates a sustainable
environment by utilizing natural resources efficiently. The Core Principles
of Sustainability-Environmental Protection which helps conservation of
ecosystem ,the use of renewable resources like solar energy,wind. Efficient
Use of Resources which helps in Conserving water and energy in daily use
like gardening ,electricity etc. Responsible Citizen -we should provide a
healthy lifestyle , good future ,well being to the next generation and access
to green spaces and plant more trees and enrol for go-green campains in
schools ,colleges , offices and the govt.
WHAT IS LEED?
