Economic Development usually takes three forms:\n• Business attraction \n• Business retention and expansion\n• Business creation\n\nIn the City of Eastland area, business attraction is carried out by the Eastland Economic Development Corporation, business retention and expansion is the responsibility of the Eastland Chamber of Commerce, by contract with the Eastland Economic Development Corporation. Additionally the Eastland Industrial Foundation is responsible for acquiring property for future development. All though these three organizations are responsible for separate programs its worth noting they work closely together on strengthening the area economy. \n\nAll three forms of economic development aim to create new primary jobs that pay more than the prevailing wage, increase the amount of income coming into the community from outside its market area, and create greater capital investment in the community. The strategy is to achieve this in a number of diversified industries.\nFor more information please click the link bellow:\nhttp://www.eastlanddevelopment.com/understandingPrinciples.html#1

Someone needs to sit down and have a serious talk with the human race. Especially the bleached ones(If you consider that our DNA came from the tribes of Africa, then the rest are all just bad mimeographs of the original results of evolution and environmental cooperation).\nThe questions to be answered start with\n--"What do you intend to contribute to the universe?"\n\nThe rest are just management questions, but nonetheless just as important in their departments.\n--"How much is it going to cost (the planet, the solar system, etc.)?"\n--"What resources are necessary to pay for it?"\n--"Can we do it at the scale/volume that we currently consume things?"\n--"If not, who is going to decide what the support level will be?"\n--"What are you doing to create a sustainable system for this goal?"\n--"Who are the stakeholders?"\n--"What is the estimated rate of return on the environment's investment(Are we going to save X number of species from extinction by asteroids?)?"\n\nSo far, all these answers are in negative connotations.\n\nTo put our species into the 'black', we need leadership like we have never seen before.\nI suspect that we won't ever see it now.

(m)\n\n\nThe set of efforts for identifying, researching, analyzing and bringing to market new businesses and new products. Business development focuses on implementation of the strategic business plan through equity financing, acquisition/divestiture of technologies, products, and companies, plus the establishment of strategic partnerships where appropriate.

Yep, take a look at engineered environments such as the Eden Project. It's just a matter of time and science.\n\nMelsat: Terraforming is creating an enviornment on another planet, which can sustain human life at natural earth type plants and animals.

In ecology, the word ecosystem is an abbreviation of the term, ecological system. Some consider this the basic unit in ecology.\n\nIn general terms an ecological system can be thought of as an assemblage of organisms (plant, animal and other living organisms—also referred to as a biotic community or biocoenosis) living together with their environment (or biotope), functioning as a loose unit. That is, a dynamic and complex whole, interacting as an "ecological unit".\n\nEarly conceptions of this unit were as a structured functional unit in equilibrium. This equilibrium was characterized by energy and matter flows between its constituent elements. Others considered this vision limited, and preferred to understand an ecosystem in terms of cybernetics. From this view an ecological system is not a structured functional unit in equilibrium, but a functional organisation at dynamic equilibrium, or what was also called steady state. This branch of ecology that gave rise to this view has become known as Systems Ecology. Steady state is understood as the phase of an ecological systems evolution when the organisms are "balanced" with each other and their environment. This balance is achieved through various types of symbiosis, such as predation, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, competition, and amensalism. Introduction of new elements, whether abiotic or biotic, into an ecosystem tend to have a disruptive effect. In some cases, this can lead to ecological collapse and the death of many native species. The abstract notion of ecological health attempts to measure the robustness and recovery capacity for an ecosystem. That is, how far the ecosystem is away from steady state.\n\nThe size and scale of an ecosystem can vary widely. It may be a whole forest, as well as a small pond, or even the geobiosphere itself. Different ecosystems are often separated by geographical barriers, like deserts, mountains or oceans, or are isolated otherwise, like lakes or rivers. As these borders are never rigid, ecosystems tend to blend into each other. As a result, the whole earth can be seen as a single ecosystem, or a lake can be divided into several ecosystems, depending on the scale used.

to save the environment!! Hybrid cars and some alternative fuel cars save on emissions and do not attribute to the overuse of fossil fuels such as petrolium ( which is refined into the gasoline that we use in our cars).  Yes i am a tree hugging hippie..but at this time of global warming and overall ecosystemic breakdown...we all should be...did you know that by 2050 the north pole is expected to be ice free through the summer months?? That will mean a dramatic increase in ocean levels...meaning a dramatic loss in usable land mass...meaning people will be moving further in land...rebuilding..using up more of nature's building materials and facilitating further breakdown of nature...and eventually both world economy and humanity itself...never mind the aesthetic value of once booming tourist attractions going way downhill

Environmental science is a study of the environment with the objective of developing technologies that would create a friendly relationship between man and environment at all times. Environmental science calls for technologies that reduce environmental degradation, enhance environment, maximize benefits out of environment across the present and future generations without damage to environment. The science itself utilizes technologies in research and development.

I took this from wikipedia. It's for reference!!\n\nAn ecosystem, a contraction of "ecological" and "system", refers to the collection of components and processes that comprise, and govern the behavior of, some defined subset of the biosphere. The term is generally understood to refer to all biotic and abiotic components, and their interactions with each other, in some defined area, with no conceptual restrictions on how large or small that area can be. \nIn biology, Abiotic components are nonliving chemical and physical factors in the environment. Often, these are described as light, temperature, water, atmospheric gases, wind as well as soil (edaphic) and physiographic (nature of land surface) factors.\nThese factors could be said to be the definitions for the exact environmental conditions in which plants need to grow.\nOxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are the most commonly described gasses; and the wind, soil, and physiographic conditions can also combine in multiple ways to affect organisms.\nIn general terms an ecological system can be thought of as an assemblage of organisms (plant, animal and other living organisms—also referred to as a biotic community or biocoenosis) living together with their environment (or biotope), functioning as a loose unit. That is, a dynamic and complex whole, interacting as an "ecological unit."\n\n\nOther population ecologists, stochastists, (den Boer & Reddingius, 1996), view an ecosystem as an expression of stochastic events, and corresponding responses from organisms. Thus, ecosystems result from the sums of infinite individual responses of organisms to stimuli from non-living and living elements in the environment. The presence or absence of populations merely depends on reproductive and dispersal success and population levels fluctuate in response to stochastic (chance) events. As the number of species in an ecosystem is higher, the number of stimuli is also higher.\n\nCheck the link for more info you need. I'm not familiar with this, besides basic info but hopefully this helps.

It is the developing of technologies on the molecular scale in the field of biology. That's really the only way to describe it, I think. Why not look it up on wikipedia?

OH YEAH!  The abiotic things.  Community is the interaction of living species with each other, ecosystem is those interactions Plus interaction with abiotic factors (water, temperature etc).\nLet me make sure.\n\nYep Yep.  i think that's it

Erosion (note spelling) is the displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) by the agents of wind, water or ice, by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms (in the case of bioerosion). Erosion is distinguished from weathering, which is the decomposition of rock and particles through processes where no movement is involved, although the two processes may be concurrent.\n\nErosion is an intrinsic natural process but in many places it is increased by human land use. Poor land use practices include deforestation, overgrazing, unmanaged construction activity and road or trail building. However, improved land use practices can limit erosion, using techniques like terrace-building and tree planting.\n\nA certain amount of erosion is natural and, in fact, healthy for the ecosystem. For example, gravels continually move downstream in watercourses. Excessive erosion, however, can cause problems, such as receiving water sedimentation, ecosystem damage (including dead fish) and outright loss of soil.

well Brain devlopment wich can also be called neural development is when the nerons in the brain have developed at a pace that is consistent to the creatures life.

As said earlier - HUMANS\n\nas we consume resources and increase population without any control limits. \nand modern humans seem to have lost any self-preservation instinct that might leave a viable eco-system for their off-spring

Currently there is a big focus on architecture using recycled materials, ambient light and other environmentally friendly stuff to erect "green buildings".  Lower energy consumption is also a big thing.

Sustainability is a systemic concept, relating to the continuity of economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society. It is intended to be a means of configuring civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential in the present, while preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and planning and acting for the ability to maintain these ideals indefinitely. Sustainability affects every level of organization, from the local neighborhood to the entire planet.
