Cultural and Environmental Sustainability in India

Abstract

India, rather than repeating the Western pattern of using up all of a country's natural resources to fuel development before trying to mitigate the damage it's done to the environment, can find the answers to sustainable development by returning to its cultural and traditional practices. Changing our current consumption and modern lifestyles and reverting to traditional ways of existence are two of the most effective ways to lessen our impact on the environment. We can learn a lot about modern resource management from ancient Indian practises of environmental preservation. The health and happiness of every species on Earth are integral to sustainable development. The traditions and lifestyle of India offer many useful tools for advancing sustainable growth. This research will look at the effectiveness of numerous Indian environmental practises from the past and compare them to those in modern times.
