The notion of "sustainable development" emerged from the April 27, 1987 report Our Common Future, from the United National World Commission on Environment and Development.
"Sustainable Development" is a non-objective term that invites opinion, values, attitudes and beliefs into ostensibly objective discussions of development., with the veiled intent to slow, stop or reverse development, and to separate the concept "economic" from the concept "development." Sustainable Development is the destroyer of the modern world.
The non-objectivity of the term "Sustainable Development" is immediately evident when compared to the term "Sustained Development," which can be measured objectively by such ordinary methods as tons-in-the-boxcar, dollars in the bank, meals served, educations paid for, medical procedures administered, emergencies repaired, and lives saved. Sustained development is the builder of the modern world.
