Abstract
Sustainable development is the development of people’s needs without harming the environment. From this study we would like to discuss how to apply basic science for sustainable development. Most of the time people do not think about the environment during development projects. They only think about their profits. As a result of these unplanned development projects, so much harm occurs to the environment such as water pollution, air pollution, climatic changes, global warming and greenhouse effect. Loss of biodiversity is another crucial problem occurs due to industrial revolution. Most of the time people cut forests and trees for different development projects. Because of these activities many animals lost their habitats and so many plants and natural water resources get destroyed. Do not stop development projects but should think twice before doing any action that harmful to the environment and also it will affect directly or indirectly to animals and mankind. Basic and General science provide good solution for the problems that have created due to industrial activities.
