That translates to: I'm a liberal and I want to control your life by using vague and confusing words and phrases.

How and why do you guys drag politics into everything? Third World sustainable development is development that can achieve on-going self sufficiency without destroying renewable resources or requiring a continued input from outside resources. That is something evil and threatening to you?

Sustainable development is being able to live off the resources we have today without compromising the resources of the future. For example, we take for granted that we will always have fish in the oceans, air to breathe, fuel to run our vehicles... but if we abuse it our development will be unsustainable.

It means evolving a strategy to ensure that development does not kill the very planet on which we exist. So you don't bring about ecological disasters like Union Carbide in Bhopal or the disasters due to Chernobyls, mega dams, and so on.
It is to take the ecological contingent into account as a cost.

Most conservativess are scared of this phrase because it suggests we shouldnt rape the planet and become billionaire stockholders for doing it... it means developing without destroying the eair and the earth. It means we leave a planet for our children.
Conservatives being short-sighted and brainwashed only understand quarterly profits and cannot think in terms longer than a fiscal corporate year
