The Earth has enough resources to meet the needs of all but not enough to satisfy the greed of even one person”. This statement is relevant to the discussion of development as both resources and development go hand in hand. Maintaining the resources for future need is the core essence for sustainability of development. It is easy to fulfil basic needs whereas greed can never be satisfied and greed increases with every want fulfilled. Even if the Earth has enough resources- renewable as well as non-renewable to satisfy everyone’s needs, the resources should be used keeping in mind a vision to secure the environment and maintain a balance of production to avoid shortage or depletion of resources.
