GOALS

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Three pillars

/Social /Environmental

/Economic

Sustainable development is not a final fact

but the search for development

of everyday life and development of the community in a way

that most people today and tomorrow will benefit from and will reduce our damaging influence on the nature at the same time (Marentič Požarnik, 2008)

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

When thinking of sustainable development we

know that just one thought can trigger a person‘s

consciousness, that nature has to be preserved

for future generations.
