Sus.Dev. heaven

Never mind about the green and brown agendas. I'm getting increasingly irritated by the international politics involved in the climate change debate. That's why I'm thinking like a climate-change denier. Well, rather than being a denier, I'm caring less and less about CO2 emissions. They're detracting from the rest of the debate.

So I found this article recently on the BBC website that complained about the religious language used by environmental activists to try to get their message across. The argument went that, rather than portraying endless visions of the hell that will happen if the world fails to act - they should be describing the scenes of heaven that await us if we act the way we should.

My path through life has generally been to invisage something that you want, and then it starts to happen - its that vision of the future that is critical.

So what does the ideal sustainable Mauritius look like?
