Abstract

Sustainable development can be described as a multidisciplinary concept and two basic groups can be distinguished in it. These groups can be defined as one as heroes and the other as proctors. It is important to remember that factors such as energy, population, food, and the economy regulate the correlations between them. In this area, it is very important to properly inform societies about heroes and cunctators (procrastinators), which means renewable sources for energy production, i.e., renewable sources and traditional sources.
