Each year, over 1.6 million people worldwide lose their lives to lost many things. The application of weapons, the destruction of violence. Violence is among the leading causes of death for people structures and oil elds, res, military transport movements and aged 15-44 years worldwide, accounting for 14% of deaths among chemical spraying are all examples of the destroying impact war males and 7% of deaths among females. Moreover, violence places may have on the environment. Air, water and soil are polluted, man a massive burden on national economies, costing countries billions and animal are killed and numerous health affects occur among the of US dollars each year in health care, law enforcement and lost people who live in those wars affected areas. This paper is about the productivity. environmental loss due to wars and attraction towards the solution i.e. Non Violence. Unfortunately the world has seen many wars War or non violence as a human activity is inherently unsustainable striking the environment very badly which includes loss of either socially or ecologically. Violence in today is growing and biodiversity, famine, sanitation problems at refugee expanding in all over the world, generating an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty, untouchability and claustrophobia. We experience not World War I: Trench Warfare – The Great War in 1914, the only the physical violence of war and crime, but also economic, assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary racial, religious, psychological, domestic-family and internal resulted in the First World War. It started with Austria-Hungary violence. There are evidences that violence is a great obstacle to invading Serbia, where the assassin came from, and Germany sustainable development. Violence or wars not only disturbs the invading Belgium. The war was mostly in Europe, between the Allies human beings but also affect the balance of ecological system. and the Central Powers. Therefore, the mantra (magic) for saving and make the resource sustainable is the Non Violence or peace. There is inevitable Allies: France, United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Russia, relationship between peace and sustainable development. Non Poland, Serbia, Montenegro, Rumania, Albania, Greece, Portugal, violence is not pacism and it isn’t just a simple methodology for Finland, United States, Canada, Brazil, Armenia, Australia, India, New marches or other actions.

Non violence is a great life philosophy and method for taking action. It has always been inspired by deep moral and religious Central Powers: Austria-Hungary, Germany, Turkish Empire, and convictions and today it is the only coherent answer to the spiral of Bulgaria. violence surrounding the entire world. We need to opposed to all types of violence, and not only to the one most spectacular form, Half of the world was involved in it; the war was fought from trench, namely armed conicts between or within state actors that we refer dug from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland.

In 1925, most WWI participants signed a treaty banning the application of gaseous chemical weapons.

During the process, atoms are split and could not easily be solved. Surface water sources were polluted, energy is released in the form of heat.

When America became involved in WWII, the development of atomic bombs started there in Iraq & Kuwait – The Gulf War was fought between Iraq, Kuwait and a what was called the ‘Manhattan Project’.
