Sustainable development is an organizing principle for human life on a finite planet. It posits a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use meet human needs without undermining the sustainability of natural systems and the environment, so that future generations may also meet their needs. Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social and economic challenges faced by humanity. Environmental issues are harmful aspects of human activity on the biophysical environment. Environmentalism, a social and environmental movement that started in the 1960s, addresses environmental issues through advocacy, education and activism. Sustainability is the key to preventing or reducing the effect of environmental issues. Thus, in this paper we will introduce some health related environmental issues with their prevention methods.
