Sustainability is often misinterpreted as the goal that we all strive for. In fact, sustainability is not an achievable final state, since it is rather the basic characteristics of a dynamically developed system. Thus, sustainability is permanent adaptation to changing conditions. Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come. For the implementation in practice it holds several pieces of knowledge to establish sustainable environment like: human, ecological and development management.
Firstly, Western society still has the mindset from that of the industrial revolution. Human sustainability means maintaining human capital. Human capital is a private good of individuals, rather than between individuals or societies. The health, education, skills, knowledge, leadership and access to services constitute human capital. Investments in education, health, and nutrition of individuals have become accepted as part of economic development. This era was essentially the beginning of what we know and how we know are world to be – profit driven. It has paved the way for us to think that success and our existence is measured by how much money a business makes instead of considering what impact our actions may have on the earth now and in the future. Probably western culture functions on a planetary management worldview; we want what we want and we want it now! A person who grew up in a car-based society in which public transport services were poor sees future possibilities through a different filter from a person who grew up with comprehensive public transport. "Each technology also fits within a technological context. If the technological systems around it do not support its use, it may fail, regardless of its positive attributes" (Rosenberg).
