How can we make our environment sustainable and sustainable development keep balance in development and environment?
Dear Rk Naresh,
The terms "sustainable environment" and "sustainable development" are associated with the term "governance".
Can we (society) manage sustainable development? We must answer this question positively. However, the main condition for such management is information about the periods, stages and goals of environmental development.
Further, we must have a methodology that will allow us to determine our belonging to a specific stage and period of environmental development. Then we must coordinate our activities to transform the environment with the goals of its natural development. You can read about this in the article: Mokiy, V.S., & Lukyanova, T.A. (2022). Sustainable development of nature and society in the context of a systems transdisciplinary paradigm. Transdisciplinary Journal of Engineering & Science, 13, Special Issue on Complex Resilience and Sustainability. Transdisciplinary Perspectives, In G. del Cerro Santamaría (Ed.), 15-35. https://doi.org/10.22545/2022/00192
In this case, the term "we" is associated with specially trained specialists. Such specialists will have the appropriate thinking, worldview, methodology and technologies of sustainable development management. We can help universities train such specialists. Join us:

Sustainable environmental practices improve water and air quality, reduce landfills, and increase renewable energy sources in the long term. These changes guarantee cleaner and healthier living conditions for all people, particularly those in lower-income communities. Avoiding the use of plastic bags to keep the oceans clean. Life on land: Planting trees to help protect the environment. Responsible consumption and production: Recycling items such as paper, plastic, glass and aluminum. Sustainable cities and communities: Biking, walking or using public transport. Our planet can only produce a finite number of resources – from food, to water – and can only withstand a certain degree of greenhouse gas emissions in order to stay healthy. We only have one Earth and are utterly dependent on it for our survival and well-being. The key to sustainable development is achieving a balance between the exploitation of natural resources for socio-economic development, and conserving ecosystem services that are critical to everyone's well-being and livelihoods. Sustainability focuses on equal economic growth that generates wealth for all, without harming the environment. Investment and an equal distribution of the economic resources will strengthen the other pillars of sustainability for a complete development. Sustainable management of natural resources as the use of resources that maintain the ecosystem and satisfy the needs of the locals for the practices such as deforestation must be reduced and three R strategy that is reduced, reuse, and recycle must be followed for use of fossil fuels must be controlled. Sustainable development is commonly described as finding a balance between ecology, the economy and society three interdependent areas in a complex system. Yet it is important to remember that neither society nor the economy would exist without diverse ecology. This is due to the underlying thought that development policies promote economic well being, while environmental policies have been seen to be restricting it. Thus, for sake of sustainable development, there is a need to balance economic development with environmental protection. Ecological balance ensures the stability of the organisms and environment. It creates a conducive environment for organism multiplication and thriving. Ecological balance is important for the health and stability of an ecosystem. In order for living organisms to coexist in a relatively stable state with the environment, systems of cycling and balance must keep the ecosystem sustainable. Balancing the need to use resources and also conserve them for the future is called Sustainable development. Sustainable development is the process of utilizing natural resources for human development without completely depleting them but by sustaining the ability of nature to continue to provide its resources. Sustainable development can be defined as an approach to the economic development of a country without compromising the quality of the environment for future generations.
