- 4. Reasons for Un-sustainability •Increasing Population – The global population has been growing exponentially for the past 250 yrs. The present world population of 7.3 billion is expected to be 8.5 billion by the year 2030,in which case it would have been doubled in 30 yrs. • Urbanization – In 1800, the world had 50 cities of over 100,000 people – today there are over 1600 cities .While almost half of the world’s population is already urban. 1950 - 29.7% 2000 - 47.4% 2030 - 61.1% • Air Pollution » Increase in green house gases » Depletion of Ozone layer • Water Pollution – Only 3% of the earth’s water is fresh water that could be used for drinking, and 2/3rd of this is locked up in the polar ice caps and the glaciers. The fresh water resources are threatened by an increasing demand of the increasing population. Green Buldings by Rohit Sharma 4
- 5. Reasons for Un-sustainability •Non- Renewable Resources – The main problem with these resources is the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere when they burn. The atmosphere at present contains 700 billion tones of carbon, which is responsible for global warming. – There is no way people of the world can use up the fossil fuel reserves without destroying the planet. Energy is the key problem to be tackled if man has to continue living on the earth. • Land – Land covers approx. 24.2% of the earth’s surface, out of which only 12% is habitable and cultivable and supports human population of about 7.3 billion. But this resource is being degraded at an alarming rate . The ratio of man to land in U.S. is 1:12 acres ; in England it is 1:1 , whereas in third world countries it is 3:1. – 15 million of additional acres of desert are created each year and 24-26 billions of top soil are lost worldwide.

CONCLUSION • As thehuman population is increasing exponentially, the demand is increasing day by day, which is causing rapid depletion of resources. • Energy is the major concern if humans want to sustain on the planet in the long run. • For this human’s need to focus on the reasons for un-sustainability. • In construction field the reasons for un-sustainability can be dealt by following the path of green buildings. • Through green buildings we can decrease… – Carbon emission – Solid Waste – Water use and – Energy use • And this is how we can move towards the Sustainable buildings by decreasing their Environmental Impact.
