Freedom, Sustainability, and the Global Community

In my opinion, it is really a hard essy to write. We need to connect the freedom with sustainability, the two totally different things, and then try to prove wether they can coexist or not.

However, after thinking over the meaning of freedom and the importance andd necessarity of sustainability, I found that these two things can not fit together for now. As people usually use their rights to do the things they want, such as drving cars to work, lumbering for the fireplace, or exploiting the coal mine or oil as more as they can, they need energy from the nature all the time. Definitely, it is impossible to have these nonrenewable resource again, unless waiting for another million years. Although poeple really enjoy the freedom of using the rights, they will not have these rights anymore in the nearly future if they do not develop sustainably.

So, for the our next generation, we must have a sustainable development, which exactly means we have to abandon some of our rights for this great decision. At the same time, the government did the same things. As we know, the high pollution leavel bussiness will be limited and manangered more strictly, and almost every country already realized the significance of environmental protection.

In short, absolutely, it is impossible that the freedom and the sustainabilty can fit to each other. However, with the great progress of science and technology, and the populariztion of new, clean, nexhaustible energy, the day which the freedom and sustainablity are compatible will come soon.
