The central issue in sustainable development is how we can reduce production and consumption levels to stay within the limits of biologically productive capacity of the planet.How can we ensure that in so doing,we will not lower or reverse the level of our well-being?This begs for an alternative development model based on a correct opinion of what constitutes human well-being. As we reflect on this,we need to be mindfully clear that the planet simply does not have the capacity to sustain life for much longer if developing countries,with their larger populations,were to tread the same path that brought the developed countries its level of prosperity and lifestyle.We deprive future generations the moment resources are harvested and used beyond the capability of regeneration.The idea is that we are drawing on future resources,borrowing from future generations. But we are not borrowing,we are depriving.
