Environment: the total of our surroundings
All the things around us with which we interact:
Living things
Animals, plants, forests, fungi, etc.
Nonliving things
Continents, oceans, clouds, soil, rocks
Our built environment
Buildings, human-created living centers
Social relationships and institutions

Built Environment
refers to the totality of all that humans have changed or rearranged within the natural environment. (Bartuska and Young, 1996)
refers to the man-made surroundings that provide the setting for human activity, ranging from the large-scale civic surroundings to the personal places.

Environment
A general term referring to man's surroundings. It includes the air, water, land and socio-economic conditions in which man or society lives.
The term may also be defined as the sum of all external conditions and influences affecting the life, development and ultimately, the survival of an organism, including man himself.

Humans exist within the environment
Humans exist within the environment and are part of nature.
Our survival depends on a healthy, functioning planet.
We are part of the natural world.
Our interactions with its other parts matter a great deal.

Humans and the world around us
Humans change the environment, often in ways not fully understood
Humans depend completely on the environment for survival.
Enriched and longer lives, increased wealth, health, mobility, leisure time
But natural systems have been degraded
Pollution, erosion, and species extinction
Environmental changes threaten long-term health and survival.

Industrial Revolution
Started in England in 18th century
Substituted machine power for human labor
Industrial - where the central element is technology or invention, as applied to the manufacturing industry
transformation from agricultural to industrial economy
primary concern was simply making production more efficient

Brundtland Report
It contains within it two key concepts:
the concept of 'needs', in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and
the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs."

Leaving our descendants with a rich, full world

Sustainability is measured by the use or misuse of resources, both material and energy
The central idea is that we should use resources (anything that is useful for creating wealth or improving lives) in ways that do not diminish them.

[1] Environmental Science, Environment, and Society: An Introduction
In the last fifty years, we gradually rediscovered the importance of protecting vital resources, such as soil, air, water, trees, and other organisms.
What began as a fringe movement in the 1960s has evolved into a mainstream concern, as economists and politicians have gradually recognized that we are depleting fossil fuel resources and pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at an alarming rate.

[1] Environmental Science, Environment, and Society: An Introduction
Early 2000s two authoritative reports appeared, involving hundreds of scientists around the world, which left little doubt about the urgency of the situation.
The International Panel on Climate Change confirmed the rapid increase in global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions, and Al Gore wisely used the cinematic medium to sound a public alarm about the inconvenient truth of climate change.
Less well publicized, but equally significant was the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, which confirmed the rapid degradation in ecosystems due to industrialization

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment
The most comprehensive scientific assessment of the condition of the worlds ecological systems
Major findings:
Humans have drastically altered ecosystems
These changes have contributed to human well-being and economic development, but at a cost
Environmental degradation could get much worse
Degradation can be reversed, but it requires work

Population & Consumption
Human population growth exacerbates all environmental problems
The growth rate has slowedbut we still add more than 200,000 people to the planet each day
Our consumption of resources has risen even faster than our population growth.
Life has become more pleasant for us so far
However, rising consumption amplifies the demands we make on our environment.

Nonrenewable resources exist in finite amounts: minerals, iron, fossil fuels, and also groundwater that recharges extremely slowly are all fixed at least on a human time scale

Types of Resources
Nonrenewable resources can be extended through more efficient use (cars use less steel now, precious metals like gold are mixed with other metals to form alloys to extend their use).
Substitution of materials (renewable in place of the nonrenewable) also reduces the demand for certain resources
