Ceri Dingle says:
'Environmentalism has already taken its toll on the developing world
denying people the chance to have the development that allows us a
comfortable life in the West. It is a top down philosophy that provides
a pretty good justification for leaving the devloping world as it is.
Poor, with just the basics. Sustainable develeopment or 'sustainababble'
enshrines the low horizons of a fearful, risk averse Western society that hates
its own achievements, that can't deliver for exisitng generations and uses
those not born yet as a justification to go backwards. It has disasterous
consequence for people now and promises worse for the future'
