No good can come from this.

What is “sustainable” anyway? I have yet to see agency or anyone actually define it.

Swimming pool in the back yard, and not a government worker? That's an environmental justice crime!

This stuff is scary.

Requiring a definition usually ends any discussion with a leftist,
and it is the reason that they choose forums in which no questions can be asked.

"Sustainability" means "whatever leftists think they want at the moment".

This is not to be confused with what leftists said they wanted yesterday or what they'll say they want tomorrow.

They want what they want, they want it now, and if they don't get it the world will end.

This is how things are to be forever.

It's a Marzist catch word from Agenda21 (total control over your life under the UN and NWO).

pdf with more info.

From the pdf:
"Humanity stands at a defining moment in history. We are confronted with a perpetuation of disparities between and within nations, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystems on which we depend for our well-being. However, integration of environment and development concerns and greater attention to them will lead to the fulfilment of basic needs, improved living standards for all, better protected and managed ecosystems and a safer, more prosperous future. No nation can achieve this on its own; but together we can - in a global partnership for sustainable development."

Very true. I had the opportunity to attend a "sustainability" conference a couple years back and the best definition they could come up with was "making the infinite from the finite". That's right up there with skittle-defecating unicorns. I suggested some kind of thermodynamic definition to see if we really were "saving" anything and you'd have thought I had defecated sans skittles.

This has been a peeve of mine since that day and I've yet to find a decent definition from any sustainability advocate that's any more accurate than what you've just said.
