Is sustainable development a con trick...if u wipe away the P.R airbrushing, doent it say: carry on exploiting

Question

underneath the nice sounding waffley words?

Answer 1

Anytime I see "Develop", or "Developer", I am suspicious. Developer usually means an organization that wants to make money maximizing growth.

Environmentally, the least growth the better. What we need is a long period of zero growth combined with pollution reduction and population reduction. We need to slow down. We have paved paradise to long.

Answer 2

Yes. You are correct.

Answer 3

Sustainable development is what keeps people keeping on.  What it really means is not only providing for those here now but for the future.  McDonald's has sustainable development and I don't see them exploiting anyone or anything.  Just the opposite in fact they tend to teach young people about having a job.  So are you against preparing for tomorrow?

Answer 4

Everything is about greed when you get up to the top.

Answer 5

Um... seriously it depends on the meaning of the word.

If you mean - putting some thought into a structure so it better meets a broad range of needs of the people who will inhabit... and in addition promotes values we consider good for people and the planet - like "liveability" or good health, safe streets, opportunities to ditch the car, etc....

Look, what is bothersome is that certain pundits like to lump all these words into a negative category and attempt to construct some type of neo-liberal hippie boogie man to scare us all into thinking "right".

You dig?

Answer 6
