Sustainable Development:
The challenge of sustainable development requires the integration of the quest for economic development with environmental concerns. Traditional methods of resource use result into generating an enormous quantity of waste and it also creates other environmental problems. Hence, sustainable development calls for the protection of resources for future generations. There is an urgent need to conserve resources. Alternative energy sources like solar power, wind, wave, geothermal energy are inexhaustible resources.
These should be developed to replace the exhaustible resources. In case of metallic minerals, use of scrap metals will enable recycling of metals. The use of scrap is especially significant in metals like copper, lead and zinc in which India’s reserves are meagre. Use of substitutes for scarce metals may also reduce their consumption. Export of strategic and scarce minerals must be reduced, so that the existing reserve may be used for a longer period.
