It is very necessary as we need to look for ways to look after our earth and use resources in a sustainable way, if not we would run out of resources and then there would be fighting and war. 9. After the Earth Summit in Rio, there has been an effort to bring in sustainable development by governments, international organizations, local authorities, business, citizen groups and individuals. Agenda 21 is a powerful long-term goal for balancing economic and social needs with the capacity of the earth’s resources and ecosystems. 10. Sustainable development is connected to the Earth Summit because to keep resources on earth without them running out, we need to use them in a way that the will not run out so the earth still has resources for its own natural needs, like trees give oxygen during the day and water is the most important resource, so if we use resources in a sustainable way, it will be better for our world.

The aim of this project is to teach the people in the rural areas how to build bricks. By learning how to build bricks they will be able to build houses for shelter. And by building houses that is one need that they can cross of their list. By teaching them instead of just doing it for them they are not only giving them pride in their buildings, but now the can sell the bricks for money and maybe even get a job in making bricks. Now they can pass this knowledge down from generation to generation so that shelter may not be an issue anymore.
