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

The World Commission on Environment and Development,
Gro Harlem Brundtland
Our Common Future, Oxford University Press, 1987

MY NOTE:  Sustainable development does not mean "sustainable growth" 
as growth per se is not sustainable.  And the term "sustainable" has 
to mean "for a very long time" (A. Bartlett).

"The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives."        Sioux proverb
