In contrast to micro-sustainability, the remaining large-scale plans for sustainability, are categorized under the term macro-sustainability.[1][2] Macro-sustainability is a large systematic addressing of sustainability in most cases by the United Nations, governments, multi-national corporations or smaller companies. They discuss global issues including climate change, and reliance upon fossil fuel hydrocarbon based energy sources. Businesses primarily focus on the return of investment of changes such as their source of energy, consumption patterns or how they transport or manufacture products. [3]Governments confront these larger issues through regulation of natural resources[4], improved practices, providing subsidies and directly investing in new technologies and renewable energy sources.[5] Renewable energy resources will lead to improving a businesses sustainable practices.
