Environmental sustainability and the use of technologies are the two very opposite terms. Human lives are directly dependent on the environment and any damage in the external environment can cause damage to human beings. It is the responsibility of human beings to protect the environment. At the time of using any technologies, it is very important to know how much damage can be caused due to the use of those technologies. As a result, the quality of their lives is getting hampered. At present, technological advancements can be stated as the chief target of human life ("Human Rights and Sustainability", 2018).
