Is Sustainability Legal?

Is sustainability legal?  Well that depends on what you think sustainability really is,  It is certainly not Agenda 21 according to the following researcher:

INTRODUCTION

Herein sustainability refers mostly to global sustainability. Sustainability is simply doing what is necessary to maintain human civilization and our environment in good shape for as long as possible. Some people say forever, but our sun will burn out eventually, and mankind will have to move elsewhere.

To create a sustainable civilization, we must protect our environment because we depend on it for life. We must also reach high levels of renewable energy, energy efficiency, zero waste, and 100% reuse of materials. These things are necessary to protect our environment and maintain access to the resources we, and future generations, need to survive at a reasonable standard of living.

LAW 1. SUSTAINABILITY REQUIRES WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS

The basic idea of sustainability is not to use up resources that future generations, or other species, may need and not to damage the environment. Having what we need, yet allowing future generations to have available what they need, is a win-win situation.

Creating win-win sustainability solutions requires very real cooperation between people, corporations, cultures, and governments.  A win-win solution does not involve forcing populations to move into cities, leave their land, etc.  In such situations, people will rebel and progress toward sustainability will be lost.  Sustainability does involve teaching people how to be sustainable on an individual basis.  Sustainability also involves recognizing local solutions.  No one solution will likely work everywhere.

Win-win solutions go far beyond just taking care of future generations of people. We are a part of the food chain on planet Earth, and we depend on all of the other life forms on our planet to survive. For this reason, we must have respect for all life forms on Earth. Taking care of all life (the environment) creates a win-win situation.

LAW 2. SUSTAINABILITY REQUIRES TRANSPARENCY
