Most of all, my own animal family, the Earth, and all other species who
share it with us.
Concerns and encouragement
List of concerns to be addressed in
order to promote sustainable development: 1) Our progress is too slow.
We have to get serious. We need to change our basic social paradigms for
Sustainable Development to really happen. 2) I'm concerned about how the
term "S.D" has been co-opted by industry, business, governments, etc.
to become "sustainable development" with no understanding of what
the term really is supposed to be. 3) Biodiversity must be a key component
of sustainable development-really its guiding principle-otherwise, it won't
happen. We must incorporate biodiversity into the core of S.D.
Changes needed
List of societal and economic changes needed in
order to approach sustainability : 1) We need a better
understanding/appreciation of our place in the global and local ecosystem. We
must behave as part of the ecosystem, not above it and separate from it. We
are one species among many. 2) We must eradicate war as a method of solving
disputes. 3) We must decrease our energy consumption. 4) We must control and
decrease the global population. 5) We must seriously address the inequities
between developed and developing countries. 6) We must empower women
everywhere. 7) We must change our basic thinking and practice of economics.

List of changes needed in order to approach
sustainability: 1) Health-womens' health-must be a priority-economics, access,
availability, etc., must be in place before women will survive. 2)
education-economics, health must be in place before you can teach - ie: can't
learn on an empty stomach, 3) economics - can't eat, learn, live etc. without
money - government must help save women, 4) violence - women cannot develop,
sustain, grow without security, 5) advancement in politics-women moving into
this sector will allow women to have a voice.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Inspirations: A lifelong commitment to wilderness preservation and concern for
a rapid degradation of biodiversity.
Concerns and encouragement
My concern is that S.D. is another
name for business as usual - no real substantive change, little political
will or commitment. S.D. at worst is a boondoggle-a corporation which obscures
rapid degradation, both socially and ecologically.
Miscellaneous comments
I cannot reply sufficiently to these
questions- swamped with work! We need to remember S.D. is not a new
concept- there has been a strong movement towards sustainability, albeit in
different rhetoric for over a century. It is important to include the
her/history and contributions of local people struggling for these
objectives as well as for more well known public figures; John Muir, Hazel
Henderson, Wendall Berry, Paul/ Donella Meadows, Paul Ehrlock, Stan Rowe,
etc, etc.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
I
have worked for many years on issues connected to protecting the environment and
achieving social justice. Many people who I have had the good fortune to work
with have inspired me to see the need to address environmental, social and
economic issues on an integrated, interdependent basis, rather than pitting
those concerns against each other. I am particulary encouraged by the people
who are able to place these issues in a global context and maintain hope
for a sustainable equitable future.
Concerns and encouragement
I am increasingly concerned about the
urgency of the issues we need to solve and the challenge of finding
solutions within growing ecological constraints, But I am always encouraged to
see the strength of citizen involvement in building those solutions.
Changes needed
I think we need to develop a collective vision of a
sustainable future that involves fundamental change in the way we live, work
and carry on economic and social activity. Achieving that vision will require
profound institutional and individual change. It is my hope that we are able
to see the changes as opportunities for a better world, with an improved
quality of life, rather than only as restricting limitations.
