Sustainable development – historical roots of the concept
-Explaining the progress of sustainability
-Sustainability has always existed, but has progress over the years. It wasn't referred to as the term we use today because people didn't realize they're thinking green.
-The term "sustainability" emerged for the first time in the Oxford dictionary in mid 20th century, but it was documented way back in Roman times.
-The Romans built their structures facing the sun for maximum natural light and also as a heat source in cold weather and a shelter in warmer days. In modern times, these strategies are known as sustainable design.
-Scientific and technological development led to the unfair distribution of economical benefits, which was a major factor in sustainability development throughout the years.
