Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
List of inspirations which influence my work towards S.D.: The need for
equality, justice, peace, sustainability, rights; the great folks who are
engaged in their pursuit; the wise feminist analysis and networking emerging
these last decades; the sophisticated literature, films, resources,etc.; the
growth of women's studies when it is embracing all these relationships in a
critque of exponential economic growth and the corporations/banks/politics
that run the world.
Concerns and encouragement
(I'd prefer to use the term
'sustainability' instead of SD.) There is a need for change of present
consumption habits and militarism (by the wealthy mostly male elites of the
world) towards more sustainable actions through education and awareness.
Once this need becomes understood, analysed and challenged, positive
sustainable alternatives will become the agenda in communities and nations
everywhere. I'd like to see more women's groups adopting the women's Action
Agenda 21 (The Miami Statement) as well as the women's treaties developed in
the women's tent in Rio. We do not have to reinvent too many wheels!
Changes needed
Building peaceful sustainable communities requires
the careful, intelligent, ecological, ethical, cooperative practice most women
attempt in their lives. We need to move these models to local, national, and
global governance for equality, sustainability and peace. List of changes
needed to promote sustainability: Locally: There should be much more
participation in decision making by "Feminist Women" who understand
the need for the IJC (International Joint Commision on the Great Lakes) 7th
Biennial Report call for "zero discharge of all persistent toxic chemicals
including radionucleotides" and insist on its implementation. Many
corporations don't want to observe timelines. In Saskatchewan, for example, the
dangerous implications of the expansion of uranium mining: waste and tailing
problems get little attention in the rest of Canada. The toxicity of these
longlived radio active wastes is affecting people's health and security. The
nuclear industry in Canada recieves 200 million dollars per year to support
public relations, promotion of exports of reactors and food irrations to mostly
third world countries. This is most unsustainable development which most
Canadians do not want here or anywhere else. At the " Voice of Women,
Pre-Beijing Conference", Toronto in June, 1994, these issues were clearly
enunciated and are in the conference report. The recommendations of this
report should be widely used. Internationally: 1) Women should work to
cancel the third world debt policies and stop structural adjustment policies
(SAPs) which are killing people in so many countries. It's been paid back many
times. Let those who were personally involved take responsibility (see "Odious
Debt" by Pat Adams of Probe International). 2) a. Women should be
involved in the discussions around the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Review" next year. This treaty promotes the expansion of nuclear
technology around the world-- then we are shocked and indignant when those
recipient nations want to make nuclear weapons. b. Canada's uranium goes
into nuclear weapons directly and indirectly as in France, Russia, England--the
civilian and military programs are joined. Our depleated uranium goes into US
nuclear weapons and also into US bullets, tanks and missiles to make them
stronger and also radioactive. This is clearly unsustainable. 3) Women are
doing much to stop exports of toxic and radioactive wastes to other countries.
We need to support our sisters everywhere in their struggles to stop them in
their communities. We also need to stop it at the source.

Concerns and encouragement
List of concerns to be addressed in
order to promote S.D.: Poverty of women in the world especially in the
third world; militarization and state force which control women's lives.
Changes needed
We need to reduce development by an endless
economic growth, partriarchy; militarization and force-hierachical power
structure and violence. The above can be changed by questioning our capitalist
assumptions of growth & promote egalitarianism and participation.
