Beneath the Wisteria supporter,
Numurkah’s Lou Cook, said: “I
found the attached article whilst trawling the Internet some weeks ago but only
read it this morning (March 29) and found it rather interesting especially when
I noted the date of publication was 1994! I have never heard of the lady before
and she raises some very interesting points”.
As
Lou correctly points out, Sharon does, most certainly, make some interesting
points, among them the public’s misunderstanding that sustainable development
equates with environmental protection.
Sharon
wrote The Hidden Messages Within Sustainable Development in 1994 and it is worth us spending 15 minutes now, in
2012, nearly 20 years later, reading something which is just as current, and
important, today as it was then.
