ABSTRACT

The existence of environment is as aged as nature; it is a collective term used to describe the space in which organisms flourish and turn into living avenue of existence to all living and non-living things. Several changes due to planetary system alteration consequently evoke hazards to life. This had prompted a fundamental approach to mediate and sustain the environment. Sustainable development is a logical process of employing natural resources with respect to environmental equity concept, together with resolutions of social equity to achieve revitalization of the environment. This chapter considers environmental pollution to be the consequence of poor management of waste disposal both in industries and homes. Also, elaborated ethical concern vis-à-vis remediation technology as a tool to revive environment and an intervention to global warming. An insight to green remediation technology in environmental sustainability was reviewed. Decarbonization through renewable energies, to restore earth to her natural state, renewable form of energy should be the first approach to be considered. Capturing and storage of carbon is another efficient remediation technique for decarbonization in industrial zones; afforestation and reforestation technology was suggested to bring nature normalcy. Mitigation of global warming through forestation offers many advantages such as biodiversity, control of food, and enhancement of soil, water, and air quality.
