Donna Meadows in 1992 provided a good definition of sustainable development: a sustainable society is " one that can persist over generations, one that is farseeing enough, flexible enough, and wise enough not to undermine either its physical or its social systems of support."
As Carl Ekstrom and Xiaomei Pei write in 1995, the task of sustainability is to ensure that resources are used only in ways that permit replacement or renewal, and that waste as residuals are eliminated. Residuals refer to waste as in products of commercial enterprises that pollute the air, land, and water (Hawken, 1994). |
