· Zero carbon:
o The climate is changing because of human’s activity which raise the level of CO2. Zero carbon means no carbon produce.
· Zero waste:
o We must protect our valuable resources by having no discarded products.
· Sustainable transport:
o Transporting either by plane or cars affects the climate a lot and causes other problems like noise pollution. So we need cleaner way to transport.
· Local and sustainable materials:
o The way we use our materials in construction or manufacturing make the problem bigger.
· Local sustainable food:
o Producing industrial agriculture and transfer it make a lot of pollution.
· Sustainable water:
o Water is not available nowadays for everyone, that because of pollution.
· Natural habitats and wildlife:
o We are losing different kinds of animals and plants and all that because of development and overuse of natural resources.
· Culture and heritage:
o In many countries the local heritage is being lost, because of globalisation and the results of that is loss the local identity.
· Equity and fair trade:
o Many people in developing countries can’t have their basic needs while same people in industrialised countries live in poverty.
· Health and happiness:
· Wealth and greater health are rising and that make us think about contentment.
