Do you agree with the view that Sustainable development is a western idea designed to retain power over East?
Sustainable development is a Western idea designed to retain power over rapidly develping Eastern countries.
Do you agree with this view?
The Expert answers:
HA HA! No. First off, America in NO WAY actually practices sustainable development. Secondly, the entire worldwide economic system si designed to concentrate the power into the hands of very few people who then can do whatever they want. Sustainable development is a hippie idea, yet one that we need to really get working on if we are to survive as a species.
Edit: while sustainable development does involve greenhouse gas emissions, that is one of the least important aspects of it. Wildlife habitat preservation, population control, etc. Are far more important to SUSTAIN the development that a country hopes to achieve.

What should I name my sustainable development project?
I just finished my project about sustainable development. I was supposed to find out what schools are doing in regards to sustainability and i also had to share my own ideas for how we can make our school “greener”. I think i did really good on this project, but before i enter it i just need to think of a good title for it.
