                           Invention of a Sustainable Machine


                      Machines are invented to assist us in completing daily work.
                      Sustainable machines will be invented from time to time to provide
                      more benefits to humans. What is a sustainable machine? The word
                      sustainable means unchanged, eternal, and fixed. Sustainable
                      machines are machines that are durable, not easily damaged,
                      cost-effective, do not have adverse effects on the environment, easy,
                      and safe to use.

                              Why is the invention of sustainable machines important
                              to humans? Let’s look at the situations below.
                       Agriculture

                             then                now                      then                 now












                                 ploughing land                              harvesting paddy
                      The pictures above show two methods used by farmers for ploughing land
                      and harvesting paddy. What is the importance of inventing a land ploughing
                      machine and a paddy harvesting machine?

                      How do the machines shown in the above situations help the workers to
                      complete their work more efficiently? Explain the importance of inventing other
                      sustainable machines in industries.
