BEYOND EARTH DAY: LIVING IN THE MODERN CONDITION

On the day after Earth Day, Stephen Pizzo, in today's Chimp: "A billion Chinese and another billion Indians are now in the same line as the US and Europe demanding their share of the earth's finite resources; oil, copper, tin, rare earth minerals, food and clean drinking water. The earth simply cannot support 7 billion humans demanding even the most modest modern lifestyle."

Tell that to the US Chamber of Commerce, which doesn't speak for us. For Lockheed Martin - US Chamber member and partner with the city of Burlington to combat climate change - sustainability means profits for its own benefit and not the earth's and future generations' of the planet's inhabitants (e.g. profits before people).
