Sustainable developments are those that "meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs."

WECD, 1987

“We are consuming renewable resources faster than they can regenerate. Forests are shrinking, grasslands are deteriorating, water tables are falling, fisheries are collapsing, and soils are eroding. We are using up oil at a pace that leaves little time to plan beyond peak oil. And we are discharging greenhouse gases into the atmosphere faster than nature can absorb them, setting the state for a rise in the earth’s temperature well above any since agriculture began. “

Lester Brown, Plan B2.0

“There is a strategic proposal called the New Apollo Initiative. Simply put, the idea is to put thirty billion dollars a year – which is the amount that now goes into subsidies to support the coal and gas industries – into alternative energy. It is strategic because … it is also:
A jobs issue: It would create 2 to 4 million jobs.
A health issue: Less air pollution means less asthma.
A clean water, clean air issue.
A species issue: It would clean up environments and habitats.
A global warming issue: We would be making a contribution to lowering greenhouse gases.
A foreign policy issue: We would no longer be dependent on Middle Eastern oil.
A third world development issue: Every country, no matter how “underdeveloped,” can make its own energy if it has the appropriate alternative technology. Every dollar invested in energy in the third world has a multiplier effect of six.”

George Lakoff, Don’t Think of an Elephant

“In one …British questionnaire, people were asked about the factors that make up “quality of life.” They named everything from “family and home life” to “equality and justice,” and when the results were totted up, 71% of the answers were non-materialistic. “

Bill McKibben, Deep Economy

“Since 1980, the number of miles Americans drive has grown three times faster than the US population. …As with driving, land is being consumed for development at a rate almost three times faster than population growth. This expansive development has caused CO2 emissions from cars to rise and reduced the amount of forest land available to absorb CO2. P2 …With more compact development, people drive 20 to 40% less, at minimal or reduced cost, while reaping other fiscal and health benefits.”

Reid Ewing et al Urban Land Institute, Growing Cooler, the Evidence on Urban Development and Climate Change

"There are solutions for individuals, schools, faith communities, artists, musicians comedians, athletes, communities, architects, cement industry, forestry companies, retail stores, financial sector, media, farmers, utilities, auto industry, trucking, railways, shipping, energy companies, governments, developing nations and all of us. “Don’t sit this one out!”
