A modern business has to be both ecologically and environmentally conscious enough into become a cost effective firm. This will help to achieve sustainable consumption of natural resources. Before the establishment of the business the owner must try to make an ecological planning. The way of understanding the effect of various ecological processes and also the environment and find the solutions to integrate the best human habitation into particular areas accordingly is known as ecological planning. The main motto of ecological planning is to merge the natural environment with the human habitations.

The particular concept of Ecological Planning was present in early 1500’s. But it first became possible to work out the concept of ecological planning in the year 1969. At that time it was first noticed that the environment was getting damaged by humans.

Since then, people started to get aware of the fact that we are solely dependent on natural resources and also noticed the resource usage of humans increased. The reason behind this is no other than the human population increasing factor. It has been recorded that total population of the earth increased in huge numbers since the last few years. People have to understand that more the population, more and more usage of natural resources is required. The source of natural resources is fixed and the nature requires considerable amount of time to regenerate the resource amount. There is a strong relation between human actions and natural processes. A firm which requires a landscape for a long time in order to run its business must make an ecological planning in order to diminish the usage of nature’s resources.

Ecological planning seems to be the most important and necessary help in environmental sustainability. In our planet earth only a limited amount of resources are left to our usage and all the living organisms are dependent on them in different ways. So, if we do not take care of the resources then the day is not far away when the human race or any other living organisms will not have enough to survive in this world due to shortage of natural resources. It has been recorded that the environment gets badly damaged due to various industries. The factory waste products which are emitted by every company pollute to environment the maximum. At present days with the development of science and technologies various systems are used to diminish the pollution levels of various industries. But the main initiative has to first take by the owner of the firm. So, it is very much necessary to make an ecological planning for every business firm because in any ways they are polluting the ecosystem.

Once the environment gets polluted, the ecological balance of the particular area gets disturbed. This eventually leads to the permanent damage of the ecosystem. Ecological planning ultimately helps to save our environment and also save the human system. Before planning any business project, it must be checked whether it is harming the nature or not. If it is causing damage to the ecosystem then, the project must be completed in some other way such that it eventually diminishes the pollution level or does not cause any pollution at all.
