Sustainable development promotes the concept of conciliation between the economic progress and the social one without jeopardizing the natural balance of the planet.

Sustainable development has been presented as a solution to the ecological crisis caused by the intense industrial exploitation of the resources and the continuous deterioration of the environment and is looking primarily to preserve the quality of the environment.

Presently, the concept has extended to the quality of life through the distribution of wealth between the developed and less developed countries, ensuring a decent living to the millions of men, women and children who are in danger, in places where the planet already seems suffocated by the excessive exploitation of the natural resources, but more importantly, the concept strives to find a way to leave to the future generations a healthy planet.
