Sustainable habitat is an ecosystem that produces food and shelter for human beings and other organisms, without resource depletion and in such a way that no external waste is produced. Thus the habitat can continue to tie without external infusions of the resource. Such a sustainable habitat may evolve naturally or be produced by human beings. A sustainable habitat that is created and designed by human intelligence to mimic nature. Everything within it is connected to a complex array of organisms, physical resources, and functions. Organisms from many different biomes can be brought together to fulfill various ecological niches [1].
Zero Waste
There is a movement called zero waste [2], which consists of using eco-friendly alternatives such as bamboo, metal, coconut, recycled fibers, etc. to substitute plastic and other materials. Zero waste ideology emphasizes eliminating products that humans use on a daily basis, for example, plastic straws, plastic utensils, paper towels, etc. The movement [3]substitutes solid waste with biodegradable components.
Ecovillage
Ecovillages [4] are looking to be sustainable, these consist of modifying the lifestyle such as having renewable energy, substituting car transportation for renewable trains, bicycles, and pedestrian walking. The consumption of organic and seasonal foods, constructing houses that are eco friendly with the environment. Eco Villages [5] consist of creating an environment that can be sustained and to eliminate pollution.
Some examples of Ecovillages [6]are:
Intelligent Urbanism
Pollution [8] has been around for many decades, but the rise of it has been in the 21st century. Pollution is caused by certain chemicals, solid waste, and emissions to the environment. Humans use certain elements on their daily basis that can cause direct or indirect pollution such as transportation, housing, incineration, chemicals in products, and food. The use of any resource can cause waste. Pollution is a long term effect that the results of it may be projected in many years. There are some studies that imply that the larger the population the levels of pollution [9] appear to be higher this being related to the numbers of consumers.
Chemical and solid waste discharges in water [10]can cause marine death in our oceans and rivers. These go through changes such as color, odor, wildlife extinction and can cause loss of ecosystems. Chemical pollution may happen in an accidental spill of the substance that eventually collides with the water.
Emissions of chemicals into the air [11] may or may not affect forests, plants' growth and reproduction, soil, and the light reach that helps the growth in the plants. The growth in plants, forests, and other green life still manage to keep growing and adapt.
Habitats in Earth:
In creating sustainable habitats, environmental scientists, designers, engineers, and architects must not consider any elements as a waste product to be disposed of somewhere off-site, but as a nutrient stream for another process to feed on. Researching ways to interconnect waste streams to production creates a more sustainable society by minimizing pollution. To construct houses or any building, there is an alternative for cement blocks called Ecobricks [13]. They consist of recycled plastic bottles that get filled with recycled plastic wrappers until compacted.
