Changes needed
Changes needed: We have to focus public education towards changing ideas regarding "consumerism", promoting cultural awareness and reducing racism. Communication should be facilitated among all parties in order to achieve sustainable development. So many changes are required...over all structural adjustment is necessary to achieve SD, and all parties require sacrifice.
