Sustainable development has been one of the alarming concerns in the twenty-first century. Anderson and Brooks (1996) discus how given the fact that “the supply of most natural resources and environment services” are limited, it is of urgent concern to monitor and control resource usage for one to even hope for continued economic activity in the years to come. Furthermore, the incessant population and per capita growth exacerbates the problem as they are indicative of the continuous growth in economic activity (Anderson & Brooks, 1996).
