One definition of sustainable development is...
...ensuring that the finite resources of the planet are not consumed at a speed that exceeds their rate of natural replenishment. Associated with this idea is the often-claimed notion that no one nation, sector or segment of society should consume a disproportionate and unreasonable amount of any scarce resources.
Within the period of Vision 2010 , there is likely to be an increasingly vocal portion of society that seeks to emphasise the obligation of companies and organisations to ensure that every effort is made to redress what are perceived to be the mistakes of the past: from reversing the effects of global warming, to resolving local and regional historical environmental issues.
