h. Limit of Carrying Capacity of The Earth

Earth has limited carrying capacity. There has been massive and random utilization
of resources during the conduction of development works. As a result, the state of
resources and ecosystems is seriously affected which has created many problems in the

future generation. The concept of sustainable development makes people aware about
limited carrying capacity of the earth and encourages people to conduct the development
works in a sustainable way.
