Ioan Vlad, Camelia Stefanescu

Abstract

Sustainability concerns in Romania dates back over 30 years when they agreed on the need to respond to issues raised inexorable deterioration of the natural environment, prevention of worsening ecological imbalances and ensuring ecological balance on Earth. These concerns marks the moment when humanity implicit authority of the country have begun to recognize that environmental problems are inseparable from the welfare and economic processes in general wastewater treatment plant by growing plants is a natural, inexpensive and safe operation for wastewater treatment in rural areas. Ecological success of this technique with low maintenance and stable as the process is harmonized interaction between plants and microorganisms substrate. The Urban Environment is important for all of us, not least because so many of us live in cities. Urban environments directly influence the lives of Romanian citizens and, in turn, have a substantial impact on the wider environment. RomanianпїЅs cities need more than ever to be sustainable and should offer the kind of quality of life and opportunity that make people want to live in them and make businesses want to invest. There is a contradiction in the urban equation, however. Urban areas drive economic development and deliver many public services, such as education, healthcare and transportation; but they are also associated with environmental degradation, congestion, economic and social exclusion. People choose to live in urban areas so they can have a better quality of life. They want to be at the heart of economic activity, and to have more job opportunities and other social and economic advantages. However, city living brings a range of challenges. While living in close proximity to our daily activities can lead to more resource efficiency and so contribute to sustainability, other factors such as air pollution can be far more acute in cities. Overcrowding, traffic pollution and noise, and industrial emissions are just a few of the issues that have to be constantly monitored and addressed to achieve a high quality of life without high environmental costs. But doing this will also bring benefits beyond city borders. The future development of humanity has been designed in a systemic vision, integrating designed to address the need of equal opportunities and succeeding generations that exist on Earth. The picture on the future development combines into a whole, sustained economic growth with preservation and enhancement of the environment, equity, justice and affirmation of democracy in society.
