Sustainability
Sustainability is generally defined as the ability to maintain or support a process over time. Team Savitr, envisions to focus on the 3 pillars of sustainability: ‘economic viability, environmental protection and social equity’. Our goal is to provide as much awareness as possible into the benefits of sustainability and how to go about it, in daily life.

“Take care of the environment the same as you take care of your life”
01
Economic viability
Economic sustainability is the approach whereby economic activities are conducted in such a way as to preserve and promote long-term economic well-being. In practice, it aims to create a balance between economic growth, resource efficiency, social equity and financial stability.
02
Environmental protection
Environmental sustainability is the ability to preserve and protect the natural environment over time through appropriate practices and policies, meeting present needs without compromising the availability of resources in the future.
03
Social Equity
It’s about promoting equity, human rights, access to education and health care, and decent work.
Social sustainability aims to create inclusive societies, reduce inequality, and ensure long-term well-being for all people while preserving social cohesion and justice.
The issue we are targeting is
Deforestation
Deforestation is when humans remove or thin forests for lumber or to use the land where the trees stood for crops, grazing, extraction (mining, oil, or gas), or development as the population increases and people migrate.
Direct causes of deforestation are agricultural expansion, wood extraction (e.g., logging or wood harvest for domestic fuel or charcoal), and infrastructure expansion such as road building and urbanization.
​
Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide. If forests are cleared, or even disturbed, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Forest loss and damage is the cause of around 10% of global warming. There's simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we don't stop deforestation.
