If there is an environmental management which is more successful, there should be a non destructive way of resource utilization. Gross utilization and higher wastage of every kind of resources will lead to destroy the environment too. Industrialization without any standard is the biggest reason for this situation. However some countries have industry centric economical systems. These economical systems are basically targeting the commercial goals. So the commercial goals are more important than the environment to the people who are depending on the industrial economy. However if we really hope to protect the environment, this situation must change.
The best alternation is replacing the industry centric economical systems with agriculture centric economical systems. With the agriculture it is easy to manage the environment more efficiently without destroying. On the other hand food is a major requirement, so the agriculture is an essential part of any economical system in any country. And it is possible to maintain other industries with the agriculture, also with a proper standard. However this cannot be an easy task.
First we must study again about how the world was changed after the industrial revolution. And also we have to research whether the way of changing the world can totally accept or not. It is clear that the people who lived in Europe in 18th century when the industrial revolution is beginning were not thought of protecting the environment. They just wanted to establish and develop industries. The present generation has to take all the things which are happening as a result of the mistakes done by the past generations.
If we can control our selves, we can give the priority to protect the environment rather than giving priority to the commercial goals. To do this we have to control our minds. So we have to teach the future generation to live close to the nature and understand the value of natural environment. Then the future generation will control the industrialization with a proper standard. And they will be more sensitive to the environmental values.
