The term "sustainable" was first used in relation to the environmental crisis when 1987 by the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED) in the groundbreaking report "Our Common Future."
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Sustainable Development is a term which means "meeting the needs of the present without comprimising the needs of the future" a guiding principal for this time when our civilization's economic activities are polluting the environment, destroying wilderness, exploiting workers and leaving the resource-rich in an endless cycle of unfullfilling consumerism.
