Commentary from WorldNetDaily

By Henry Lamb Posted: November 28, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily When the term “Sustainable Development” first entered the world, it was defined to be:

"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

The term and the definition are the creation of the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development, chaired by Gro Harlem Brundtland, then vice-chair of the International Socialist Party. To give meaning to this grandiose definition, the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development adopted Agenda 21, signed by 179 nations, including the United States. This document is a 40-chapter laundry list of recommendations to create "Sustainable Communities." Sen. Christopher Dodd is facilitating these U.N. recommendations through his "Livable Communities Act" (S. 1619), which further defines the term this way: "The term 'sustainable development' means a pattern of resource use designed to create livable communities by:

(A) providing a variety of safe and reliable transportation choices; (B) providing affordable, energy-efficient, and location-efficient housing choices for people of all income levels, ages, races, and ethnicities; (C) supporting, revitalizing, and encouraging the growth of communities and maximizing the cost effectiveness of existing infrastructure; (D) promoting economic development and economic competitiveness; (E) preserving the environment and natural resources; (F) protecting agricultural land, rural land, and green spaces; and (G) supporting public health and improving the quality of life for residents of and workers in a community."
