Is the Environment vs. Development debate destined to unfold ad infinitum, or is there some resolution in sight?
It’s a problem of definition. If development does not integrate hard environmental concerns, how can it be called development at all? A more accurate word would be ‘devil-opment’. But seriously, the debate will continue to unfold till the long-suffering public elects the right kind of people to represent them. I, for one, long for a resolution so that I can take more time off to visit and savour some of the natural havens people like us are trying to save.
