Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
A philosophy inculcated by professor K. Cumberland, at Auckland University, Geography Department in the 1950's !

Concerns and encouragement
I am concerned about the unwillingness of decision makers in governments and business to accept S.D.as a new way of doing business. People who have their own agendas and are not flexible enough to adust to new ideas. Encouragement: governments are gradually moving from endless debates about definition to ideas for implementation.

Changes needed
List of changes needed to approach S.D.: Globally- Changes in attitude; rigorous environmental assessment of activities--including studies of carrying capacities, regulation of toxic substances (production, transportation, use and disposal). An appreciation of the true meaning of sustainable development--and that environmental protection is not just preservation and prohibition.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Inspirations: My commitment to SD has been inspired when travelling to the Horn of Africa in the1980's as an international development worker and seeing the devastation created by monocropping. I have also being inspired by the Earth Summit, being elected to parliament and having children.

Concerns and encouragement
My concerns relate to our inability to transform the small "p" political activism of environmentalists and international development activists to the capital "P" politics of electoral office. The solutions to our problems are political and women remain on the fringe of political power.

Changes needed
List of changes needed in our society to promote sustainability : 1) knowledge of how the world really works, 2) courage to act as individuals, 3) commitment to solutions best for all, 4) sense of urgency, 5) working together to support a new direction.

Biographical information

Education: B.A. Fine Arts and History, UBC; should have taken forestry and economics, though could teach those now.
Employment/Experience: More than full-time volunteer for Sierra Club of BC; volunteer because there isn't enough money for a salary. Former President, Friends of the Ecological Reserves (group played leading role in fight for preservation of the Khutzeymateen Valley). Formerly a director of the National Committee to Save South Moresby. In 1988, Vicky was awarded a UNEP Global 500 Award for outstanding contributions to environmental protection.

Your publications related to SD
No personal publications, though I raise money to hire people to do mapping, reports, etc and to generate many Sierra Club publications.

Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
I hate the term "sustainable development" and am not committed to it; I call what we do "developing sustainably" and I am committed to that. I did meet Brundtland, and sat on the BC Round Table which felt like a waste of time. I am inspired because I want a future for us all. We're consuming the world's resources, not only our own, at an unsustainable rate; we in Canada have to clean up our own act first.

Concerns and encouragement
What encourages me? I like the role of women. I'm heartened by the Cairo conference on population and development and the challenge to male domination. I am encouraged by the goverment in BC admitting to mismanagement and overconsumption of forest resources, though it may not be there long enough. I am concerned about governments - provincial and federal - failure to move from the status quo to really reconizing the problems we're facing. I'm concerned that no one is moving fast enough to stop the overconsumption of resources. I'm concerned about the lack of broad-based education in the training of resource managers. I am concerned that the marine environment has not been looked at at all. We're dealing with the drftnet of the forest as well as the driftnet of the fishery. I'm concerned that we're not leaving anything for the children. I'm encouraged that some native people are showing real leadership from their perspectives and directions which could be very helpful; we need to work more with First Nations. I'm encouraged by the Kitlope Vallye decision. It is a gift to the world by the the Haisla people in the Kitimat area. I'm encouraged by Clayocquot -- it mobilized so manhy people in a spontaneious outpouring against injustice; it empowered native people -- there has been nothing like it in Canada. However, its success will depend on implementation. A scientific panel has been set up that will report in February, 1995; it could change the grame for forest management in Canada.

Changes needed
Changes are needed in primary education, and in education of women, especially in the developing world, to take control of their lives. Canada has to solve the debt problem and stop the big lie that we are sustianable. We are overcutting by 50% in BC and exporting the technology that makes that overcutting possible. Everyone's future is at stake.
