environmental sustainability perhaps is the last thing that we would like to think or worry about. Added to this dangerous mindset is cutting more and more trees and building sky crappers for to ensure so called economic growth and development. Now don't get me wrong as i am all for a sustainable economic growth and development but at what cost?! Do we want such development which is bound to leave this world as a desert for our kids and grand kids? certainly not.
The reality is we do need to build building and infrastructure but we must also make sure that we are not harming our mother earth. So, before undertaking any large project, please do consult your environmental consultants who will guide you all the way to make sure that your project is not destroying your environment. Please do follow proper environmental planning and environmental regulations to make sure that your infrastructure projects don't threat our livelihood.

first off, Greenpeace is a sell out.

secondly, this IS violence of the worst kind, to be dispossed of your land for a foreign interests need to put your food in their effin' car, erasing an entire culture.

and it's happening all over the globe, every day. and they will not stop until they have destroyed every last inch.
