David Orr - ‘Earth in Mind’

‘We cannot know what sustainability means until we have decided what we intend to sustain and how we propose to do so. For some, sustainability means maintaining our present path of domination, only with greater efficiency’.

This weeks Green Thoughts are taken from David Orr’s 1994 book ‘Earth in Mind’ (from part 4 - Destinations.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_W._Orr
