Sustainability Scam
Almost every day one reads about "sustainable development" and
"sustainability", especially in the construction of new buildings and a host of so-called eco-activities, but is it all hot air contributing to Global Warming? I fear the answer is yes! A whole new industry of experts, consultants and educators has sprung up on the back of these terms but when asked when sustainability can be determined, they appear not to know. If they don't know themselves, how can they convince others? As a lay person, my view of sustainability is that it must show a neutral or less than neutral impact on the natural environment in terms of our human footprint and contribution to climate change, in a world where we are already exceeding this impact. Any additional impact whatsoever cannot be sustainable. So when a new development or eco-activity is added to our environmental impact it might possibly be less damaging than it could have been, but it is certainly not sustainable unless at the same time and in association, a greater impact is removed. Indeed, in the present eco-crisis, the buzz-word "sustainability" appears to be part of the "con" in conservation perpetrated against the world's populations by fakes. Angus Macmillan www.roots-of-blood.org.uk www.killhunting.org www.con-servation.org.uk All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; and Third, it is accepted as self-evident. -- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) |
