FreedomAdvocates.org <br />Introduction <br />You may have heard people talking about Sustainable <br />Development — in public meetings, on television and on <br />the radio. Consultants talk about it, university professors <br />lecture on it, and at all levels of government, it is now <br />being mandated. But what is Sustainable Development? <br />That is precisely the question this guide is intended <br />to address. In the following pages, you will read of <br />the origins of Sustainable Development, its theoretical <br />underpinnings, its major programs, and how it is <br />implemented. <br />When you have finished reading this document, you will <br />have the knowledge necessary to begin identifying the <br />vast array of Sustainable Development programs that exist <br />and continue to arise. <br />Please recognize this document for what it is: a unique <br />opportunity to learn more about Sustainable Development. <br />Then you can make a difference in your town by <br />supporting present and future actions that restore and <br />protect the rights and well-being of you, your family, and <br />your neighbors. <br />More information on the nature and consequences of <br />Sustainable Development is available from Freedom <br />Advocates. http://www.FreedomAdvocates.org <br />
