The global problem of modern society is the protection and improvement of the environment. Sustainable development seeks to improve the quality of life by combining three interrelated factors: economic development, environmental protection, and social responsibility. These three factors must exist together in order to provide a simple, yet stable support. The living standards of people should be based on the preservation of the environment, and not on the depletion of resources. Humanity is living beyond the capacity of planet Earth. If the current rate of depletion of natural resources continues, by 2050 people would need two such planets, given that the population would increase to nine billion.
