Quote of the day:
Theodore Roosevelt once said "The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets, which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired in value."
Possibly the genesis of the Brundlandt Commission's definition of sustainable development?
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without comprising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs"
Thanks to Jonathan Rowe, On the Commons, for the quote.
